Sony says a recent tech error is to blame for the PlayStation 5 home screen suddenly showing advertisements to players, as the studio confirms no changes have been made to the way game news is shown to users. After many believed the sudden adverts were a new feature, PlayStation 5 owners blasted Sony for the sudden change, but the studio says it has now rectified the bug.
Shortly after the release of a new PlayStation firmware update, some fans began noticing that game tiles were now presenting related adverts to players instead of the game's usual key art. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, for example, was displaying a full-screen advert for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, despite the fact that the movie is now well over a year old. While this didn't appear to be affecting every single title available on the PlayStation 5, it was widespread enough to frustrate much of the console's community.
Some recent evidence implies that a well-regarded PS2 horror game will soon be re-released for the PS Plus Premium classics library.
Thankfully, Sony has now confirmed that this is not an intended feature for the PlayStation 5 and was related...
