Changing the background on the PS5 – These options are available

Can you change the background of the PS5? On the PS5, the background is set automatically. The background depends on which game you have selected in the menu.

These automatic backgrounds cannot be changed and change depending on the selected menu item.

What can I change? You can change the background and the title image of your PS5 profile. However, the downside is that this image will not be shown as the background on your console. If you want to see your image, you have to switch to your PS5 profile.

Changing the background on PS5 profile:

• To edit the profile, go to the PS5 home screen and select your avatar in the upper right corner. In the following dropdown menu, select the Profile option.
• On your profile page, go to the pencil icon on the right side. This will take you to a menu where you can select what you want to change.
• Here you can also change the background of your profile.
