Sony Addresses PS5 Home Screen Ads Issue as a "Tech Error"
A recent PlayStation 5 update introduced unwanted promotional materials and ads to the console's home screen, sparking widespread user frustration. Images circulating online showed the home screen cluttered with promotional artwork and news headlines, significantly impacting the user experience. Many users voiced their displeasure on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), criticizing the unexpected change.
Sony's official response, posted on X, attributed the issue to a "tech error" within the Official News feature. They stated that the error has been rectified and that there have been no intentional alterations to how game news is presented on the PS5. While the company claims to have resolved the problem, some users remain unconvinced, describing the change as a "terrible decision" and expressing concern about the intrusive nature of the ads. Several comments highlight the replacement of unique game art with generic promotional thumbnails, disrupting the aesthetic appeal of the home screen. The overall sentiment among many users suggests a desire for an opt-out option to control the display of promotional content.
