PlayStation PS5 UI Will be a Complete Overhaul

Sony finally revealed the console design for the PlayStation 5, but there’s still plenty about the console that’s being kept under wraps. This includes the PS5 UI, which had a very brief teaser during the PS5 showcase. Now, a PlayStation exec has revealed that the PS5 UI will be a “100 percent overhaul of the PS4 UI.”

As reported by The Verge, PlayStation VP of UX design Matt MacLaurin answered some questions about the PS5 on LinkedIn (since deleted). There, MacLaurin revealed that the new UI for the PS5 is a “very interesting evolution of the OS.”

“As it’s UI it’s practical first, but it’s a whole new visual language and a complete rearchitecting of the user interface,” says MacLaurin. He describes the OS as “more subtle than flashy, but no pixel is untouched.”

Hopefully, the UI allows customizations/mods for gamers who want a more flashy UI.

that would be awesome.

I agree it would be awesome if we can custumize the UI, and share custom mods and animations for the UI with other PS5 gamers.

I know it's not a huge thing and not something most people make a decision about which console to get one, but I am looking forward to seeing what it looks like. Especially as MS aren't doing much to the Series X UI.
