Spider-Man and Windows Games: Impact of New PS5 Firmware

The update aims to streamline the home screen, allowing players to feature battery life and wishlist games. Yet, this intention backfired, surfacing promotional content that many players deem unnecessary.
Community Response
- Earl Turlet, a PS5 user, expressed frustration on Twitter: “Now EVERY SINGLE GAME shows you an advertisement in the background!”
- Prominent games like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and The Amazing Spider-Man are affected.
- Players are clamoring for better customization options.
Many in the community are urging Sony to revert these changes, seeking a balance between information and a clutter-free interface.
