PS5: Sony offers a free surprise for players, available without subscription



Festive surprise for PS5 players: Sony has recently offered a new digital gift that will delight those who like to personalize their console. Accessible without a PlayStation Plus subscription, this new feature is available now. A discreet but effective option to bring a seasonal touch to your interface.

For some time now, the PlayStation 5 interface has benefited from several improvements, including the addition of customization functions. This exclusive content is part of this desire to offer a warmer user experience. To take advantage of it, simply go to the PS5 Home Hub, then select “Choose a wallpaper”. The item in question appears at the very top of the list.

Festive and free content, with no subscription required

Unlike certain features reserved for subscribers, this new content is accessible to everyone, without conditions. This is a simple gesture from Sony to mark the season, at a time when discounts and special offers are multiplying in the world of video games.

This gift offers a visual and sound atmosphere typical of the holidays, ideal to accompany a gaming session or simply to brighten up the console interface. “It may not be the most exciting gift in the world, but if you can’t get comfortable in front of a real fire, this is a perfectly acceptable alternative.”

PlayStation Plus: hours of play offered to subscribers

PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers are not left out. This December, they can enjoy more 192 hours of free gameplay with titles like Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Or Granblue Fantasy: Relink. A varied selection that adds to the classics already available in the catalog.

Even if the visual bonus remains open to all, this game offer could well convince those who are hesitant to upgrade to a subscription. Among the titles highlighted, Assassin’s Creed Mirage emerges as a safe bet according to the author of the source article.

Here’s how to enable new content on your PS5

Installation is quick and easy. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Turn on your PS5 and go to the home screen.
  2. Go to the “Personalization” or “Interface Settings” section.
  3. Select “Choose wallpaper”.
  4. Click on the new visual proposed at the top of the list.

This free content once again shows Sony’s interest in personalization and user experience, particularly during festive periods.
