Domino’s Pizza has asked Sony to keep the 30th Anniversary themes available to PlayStation 5 users. Sony celebrated the 30th Anniversary of PlayStation through new PS Plus additions, special hardware, and free PS5 themes that serve as throwbacks to the PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4 consoles. This includes a special boot screen that mimics the original PS1 start-up sequence.
The PS5 30th Anniversary themes have proven to be extremely popular, with many nostalgic fans happily taking trips down memory lane. Unfortunately, the PS5 30th Anniversary themes are not expected to be permanent options for PS5 owners. While a removal date has not been announced at the time of this writing, the PS5 30th Anniversary themes are expected to be pulled eventually, despite fan demand that they stay.
