PS5 Update Bug Disrupts Game Art Backgrounds
On Monday, PS5 users reported an unusual bug that disrupted game backgrounds, causing game art to be swapped with promotional messages and outdated news posts. Players expressed their frustration on social media as images of games like Miles Morales, Hi-Fi Rush, and Final Fantasy VII Remake were replaced by irrelevant promotional ads.

Daniel Hiatt, product lead for Game Hub at PlayStation, acknowledged in a now-deleted post that the issue was a "new bug with an existing feature." Fortunately, by 6 PM ET, the game pages returned to normal functionality. The @AskPlayStation account confirmed the resolution, stating:
A tech error with the Official News feature on the PS5 console has since been resolved. There have been no changes to the way game news is displayed on PS5.
