PS4 firmware update adding themes

4.6
Similar to the Vita, Sony has announced that a future software update on the PS4 will add the ability to use themes, giving players the ability to customize the console's dashboard.

Themes teased during the reveal were animated, featuring famous PlayStation Japan characters Toro and Kuro kicking back in a kitchen. Paging through the sections of the PS4 dashboard changed the background image.

Again, like the Vita reveal earlier this evening, it's unclear if players will be able to select any images to customize their console or if themes will be limited to content available on the PlayStation Store.

A release date for the update had not been revealed. Check out another example of the PS4 themes in action after the break.

It's pretty simple but honestly, I think extra themes would be a nice addition. Personalise your PS4 dashboard a little bit, nice.

Rin If you have to pay for themes than I'm skipping on it.


there might be some you have to pay for


its going to be exactly the same as the PS3 custom themes/custom dash board for PS3, they will sell some in PS store OR you can make some cool ones with special software they will relase to make ur own and have others download like you was able to do on PS3/PSP1000-2000+ for example go Google search & type in PS3 Theme Diwbloads & look all free sites to get awsome free themes for PS3. one top site is www.PS3-themes.com


Yeah, I always just bought them when I was bored. They were cool.
