PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off - IGN
www.ign.com
The PS5 now has an advert system built into the dashboard user interface you can’t disable without disconnecting from the internet.

Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now…

Edit: Playstation Product Manager says this is actually a new bug. I really doubt it but they do seem to be “fixing it”.

      You can play Nintendo games on PC, with the added bonus of not giving money to that ghoulish company.

      I played BotW and TotK on my PC, and let me tell you friend, with the increased frame rate, and the ability to run reshade, it looks and feels better than ever.

        Also, tinfoil and ghost shop is pretty cool if you have a hacked switch.

      My PS5 is really just a Demons Souls Remake machine.

        For real, this was 85% of the reason I caved lmao. The other 15% was that I was presented with the opportunity to purchase one at a time when that was rare so I said fuck it
