The recent PS5 UI update, initially allowing players to disable advertisements on the dashboard, has introduced some new features that might feel like a double-edged sword to many.
While it offered more customization options and flexibility over the dashboard, the update has also led to a situation where every game displayed on your home screen now shows advertisements in the background, with no way to remove them.
This has understandably frustrated some users who are enjoying a more streamlined, ad-free experience.
According to the recent changes, the new UI overhaul now includes widgets for various system parts, such as battery life, headset and controller status, storage, friend activities, and dynamic themes.
Despite the increased customization, some features remain unchangeable, such as the advertisements for individual games on your home screen.
On the bright side, many fans have welcomed the ability to customize their home screens, including adding dynamic backgrounds and widgets like trophy tracking and internal storage monitoring.
This update also introduced an adaptive controller charging feature and more accessible Remote Play options.
While the update offers new enhancements, the return of in-game advertisements on the home screen without the option to disable them has been a point of contention for the PS5 community.
