An apparent bug caused the game art background on some people’s PlayStation 5 dashboards to be replaced with promotional messages and news posts on Monday. The images they saw featured long-overdue discount promotions and ads for new games.
People lamented the change on forums and social media, saying the game art that used to appear when highlighting games has disappeared. Instead, images that would normally appear as news posts in a separate section of the PS5 UI appear on screen behind the game Miles Morales, Hi-Fi Audio Sprintand Final Fantasy VII Remake.
PlayStation Game Center and Activity Suggestions product lead Daniel Hiatt wrote on Monday afternoon in a since-deleted post that the change was a “(new) bug in an existing feature.” Then, by 6 PM ET, those game pages were back to normal, as we confirmed on our own PS5. The @AskPlayStation account on X confirmed the fix, saying:
A technical bug with the official news feature on PS5 consoles has now been resolved. There’s no change to how gaming news is displayed on PS5.

There were threads on Reddit and Resetera dedicated to the change, but now that it’s been reinstated, people will have to revisit the PS5 Pro, review scores, and why harmony failed.
