Sony is implementing an advertising system on the PS5 home screen, changing the interface where the art of each title selected by a promotional image or YouTube thumbnails is displayed.
Although this model is not appearing for everyone yet, those who are seeing this replacement claim that it does not allow the user to disable it – it only disappears when the video game is disconnected from the internet.
What happens is that the PS5 home screen is pulling up the latest news for each game – whether it’s an official YouTube video, artwork from updates, or even announcements that aren’t directly related to your particular game.
Obviously this would generate criticism from the public and users are already complaining about the changes organized by Sony Interactive Entertainment. IGN shows the case of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, whose Titus art was replaced by the video published by Focus Entertainment.
In the case of updates, for example, it is also seen that the PS5 home screen shows art from Black Myth: Wukong based on the latest update made available by Game Science – as well as Call of Duty, which promotes Season 6 of multiplayer.

PS5 home screen issues
Things start to get complicated when the image in question that appears on the PS5 home screen is completely different from what you are looking for in your games.
The website MP1st, for example, showed that when selecting the game Horizon Zero Dawn, art from LEGO Horizon Adventures appears prominently – making life confusing for the player, who may not quickly understand the title they selected and want to play.
One of the cases that most surprised was in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which features advertising for the film Spider-Man: Through the Spider-Verse in theaters – released in June 2023, leading the public to see something that has already left this circuit and can be found on streaming platforms.
It is worth mentioning that not all games have the PS5’s home screen replaced with an advertisement. In tests carried out, Astro Bot and Yakuza Kiwami 2, for example, remain intact.
