00:00PS5 getting feature update that fans have been asking for.
00:04Sony is beta testing a PS5 feature update that should please fans who have been begging
00:09for better UI personalization.
00:12While we don't expect the PS5 to ever match the PS4's socialization and customization
00:17options, it's nice to see these baby steps towards a better UI experience.
00:22New PS5 personalization feature update should make players happy.
00:26As spotted by YouTuber Mystic, Sony has introduced two new features to the PS5 welcome hub for
00:31select participants.
00:33Showcase mode allows the PS5 when idle to hide widgets and display a full view of the background,
00:39while the slideshow feature cycles through images from a chosen album.
00:44These beta additions are available for a limited time and can be enabled through the welcome
00:48hub settings menu.
00:49Frankly, it's surprising that Showcase mode wasn't introduced alongside the welcome hub.
00:54One of the first things players noticed was that the widgets obscured background images,
00:59leaving the only workaround to remove as many widgets as possible and rearrange them in creative
01:04ways.
01:05Thankfully, that workaround is no longer necessary.
01:08Both the Showcase and Slideshow modes function much like screensavers, and the latter finally
01:13gives players a way to put their in-game photo mode shots to good use.
01:17These additions aren't groundbreaking and still fall short of PS4-style themes, but progress
01:22is clearly being made.
