It's sad that the startup sound of older consoles will no longer be there.
Sony has announced that the PlayStation 5 will be receiving a software update that will return the console to the look it had in days gone by. This is good news for fans who were overjoyed to hear that the company was planning to create permanent visual options based on the aesthetics of previous Sony generations, as it did during the PlayStation 30th anniversary. The return of the four old-school UI looks is the highlight of the forthcoming PS5 update.
One thing that is not coming back are the startup audio chimes that greeted each generation. But the visual parts can be freely customized in the Appearance tab of the Settings menu.
On the other hand, the other big part of the next software update is the Audio Focus feature, which can help to increase immersion during a play session with a headset or headphones. Using these presets, players will be able to adjust the focus on voice, low frequency sounds, high frequency sounds, and quiet sounds. Users will also be able to determine whether the level of amplification is low, moderate or high.
The PS5 update is scheduled to start rolling out globally on April 24.
