Sony is gradually rolling out PlayStation 5 console updates 25.01-10.60.00 across the globe. PlayStation 5 updates typically arrive on a regular basis, with most being standard updates, though some offer major new features.
At the end of last year, Sony introduced a major PS5 update that included special themes to mark PlayStation’s 30th Anniversary. These themes allow users to personalize their home screen with designs reflecting the PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4.
The PlayStation 30th Anniversary update also included a unique boot screen modeled after the classic PlayStation 1 start-up sequence. This update became one of the most beloved PS5 updates. In comparison, the newest PS5 update is unlikely to receive the same level of enthusiasm.
The latest PS5 console update is currently being rolled out. The patch notes mention improvements to system software performance and stability, alongside enhancements to messaging and usability “on select screens.”
The latest PS5 console update patch notes provide limited information, so many users may not notice the changes. Nevertheless, it’s positive that Sony continues to make strides in enhancing the console’s performance.

Though the patch notes don’t mention anything about removing the PS5 30th Anniversary themes, there’s speculation that Sony could eliminate them soon. The new PS5 update hasn’t been available to me yet, so I can’t verify it personally, but no reports have emerged indicating the themes have been removed at this point.
For those worried about the themes disappearing, it might be wise to hold off on downloading the latest PS5 console update for now.
A large number of PlayStation fans are hoping Sony will opt to keep the 30th Anniversary themes permanently. The demand for their continued presence is so significant that thousands have signed a petition urging Sony to reconsider any plans to take them down.
Even other brands have shared their thoughts, with Domino’s Pizza requesting that Sony keep the themes. The future of the themes is still unclear, but fans should definitely stay tuned to console update patch notes for any developments.
