Although it has been available for a few weeks in other regions, it was not until today that the new PS5 interface began to be deployed in Spain. Sony PlayStation has confirmed it through its official account in Xalso showing some of the new features available on the PS5 dashboard.
The new interface is part of the list of new features that arrived with the September update, although Spanish users could not use the new widget system, since its launch has been carried out little by little between regions.
In addition to the welcome center with the new interface, the update included some especially useful features, such as Custom 3D audio profiles for headphoness, remote control per user and adaptive charging for controllers (although only for the slim model of PS5 and PS5 Pro as soon as it is available).
Some social features were also added, such as the new option to share groups with links through messaging applications or social networks. However, the highlight was the new welcome interface, which includes the possibility of customizing the wallpaper, although not for the entire console, but for the widget system.
The new PS5 hub is fully customizable
The welcome center is now the main screen that the user will see as soon as they turn on the console: a space that can be customized with widgets to see information at a glance. You can modify both the number of widgets and their arrangement and size, as with the possibility of adding any wallpaper from gallery. In this way, different widgets can be added such as console storage, accessory battery levels, online friends, trophies and much more.
You can choose between several predefined widget configurations, but in any case you can create your personalized space by choosing what you want or not to show in your welcome center or eliminate widgets that do not interest you, such as those from the Store or, for example, trophies .
To use the new welcome center you don’t have to do anything. If you have updated your PS5 to the latest version (there is no specific update just for this), it will be available to you once you turn on your console starting today.
