PS4 – How to Change Theme

“How do I change my PS4 background theme?”

1. From the Playstation 4 menu, head over to ‘Settings’ and hit the X button on the controller (scroll all the way up and to the right hand side).

2. Scroll down the Settings menu to find ‘Themes’ and hit X.

3. The PS4 default theme is ‘Flow’ and it’s probably the only background theme you’ll have installed so we’ll need to download another one. Oh by the way you can change the Flow theme to a different color, simply click on it to see the color options. Let’s go get a new theme, go to ‘Find in Playstation Store’.

4. The PS4 Themes page is where you go to view and download new background themes. They vary in price, from free to a few bucks. I personally like to see all the free themes first so I go to the ‘Sort’ option and select from ‘Low-High’. This will sort all the freebies before the premium ones.

5. Highlight the theme you want and hit X to view the theme details. Select the ‘Download’ button to begin downloading and installing the theme.

6. When it’s done installing go back a couple pages by hitting the O button twice on the controller. This will take you back to your Themes page. Here you’ll see your new theme. Choose the new theme and hit the X button and then choose ‘Select’ from the screen. Now your new PS4 theme should be active. Head back to the PS4 home screen to view your new awesome theme.
