Sony has released a new PS5 update for May 2026, introducing animated themes for the Welcome Hub. One of these new backgrounds is quite visually dynamic, but it might cause motion sickness issues for sensitive viewers.
The animated theme, now available worldwide, can be accessed through the Welcome Hub by navigating to Backgrounds > From PlayStation. All recent themes are marked as “new,” making them easy to identify.
The preview appears to be simple abstract art; however, once activated and animated, it may be uncomfortable for those prone to motion sickness. Many users have reported turning it off shortly after trying it.
This new animated background was released alongside the previously announced Welcome Hub theme celebrating the 10th anniversary of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. It displays artwork from the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection and features animation.
Additionally, PS5 users can enable the Welcome Hub’s Showcase Mode via settings. This feature allows the console to display your chosen background in full, hiding the widgets that normally appear when the system is idle.
