Can you Change Wallpaper and Theme on PlayStation 5?

Sony’s PS5 console is one of the best gaming devices. Now, as it is with every device out there, people have been looking for ways they can customize the look and the feel of the PS5. No, we aren’t talking about external PS5 designs. we are talking about customization like wallpapers and themes for PS5. Now, the main question that everyone asks around is, can you change the wallpaper and theme of your PS5 easily? 

Can I Change Wallpaper on PS5?

Unfortunately, the answer is No. There is no easy direct method to change the theme and wallpaper of your Sony PS5. But, that shouldn’t simply stop you from doing so. While you cannot change the theme, you can definitely change the profile banner for your account on the PS5.

As we stated earlier, it’s not possible to change the theme and wallpaper of your PS5 directly because of one simple reason. Sony’s PS5 automatically changes the wallpaper and theme depending on the game you are playing or you have selected. Because of these dynamic themes and wallpapers that change automatically, there is nothing you can customize.

However, you can customize the profile banner for your account on your PS5. It’s unfortunate that you can only change the banner, but at least that is the best you can change. And as long as Sony lets you change the profile banner with whatever image you want, it is more than enough at this point. However, we do hope to see Sony make changing the wallpaper and theme of the PS5 customizable somewhere in the near future.
