Thousands of gamers have signed the PlayStation petition

Almost 4,000 players signed the petition with the request PlayStation keep the 30th anniversary themes and launcher effects. Sony is currently celebrating the 30th anniversary of the PlayStation in a number of exciting ways. The celebrations took place through special sales, PS Plus bonus games and more.

PlayStation has massively discounted hundreds of games as part of its 30th anniversary celebrations, and has also confirmed that classic platformers for the PS2 Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Sly 2: Band of Thievesand Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves all coming to PS Plus Premium on December 10. One of the most popular ways Sony has celebrated the 30th anniversary of the PlayStation is with the special limited-time themes currently available on the PS5 that serve as a throwback to the company's classic consoles.

How to change PlayStation 30th Anniversary themes on PS5

For a limited time, PlayStation 5 owners can enjoy five dynamic themes and a special splash screen to celebrate the PS1's 30th anniversary.

The PS5 30th Anniversary themes have proven to be a massive hit with fans nostalgic for the company's older consoles. However, many are upset that the themes will only be available for a limited time and have called on Sony to add them permanently. Those calls have seen a Change.org petition close to 4,000 signatures at the time of writing. The petition simply asks that Sony keep the PS5 30th Anniversary themes permanent. Sony has not responded to the petition at the time of writing and has yet to indicate that the themes will become permanent.

It's possible Sony will make a statement if the petition to keep the PlayStation 5 anniversary themes generates enough interest, but that remains to be seen. All sorts of gaming petitions are filed on Change.org every day, and they rarely get a response from any of the companies they target. Still, it seems like it would be harmless for Sony to keep these anniversary themes available to PS5 players, especially since special themes are a feature that fans have been asking to see on the console for years.

One of the most requested features on Sony's latest console is special themes like the ones that were available on the PS4, and these 30th anniversary themes are the closest fans have gotten yet. With how popular these themes are, it seems pointless to keep them available to fans indefinitely, and perhaps even use them as a starting point for adding more PS5 themes in the future. Unfortunately, no plans along these lines have been announced yet, so PlayStation players should make the most of these themes while they still can.
