PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off - IGN
www.ign.com
The PS5 now has an advert system built into the dashboard user interface you can’t disable without disconnecting from the internet.

Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now…

Edit: Playstation Product Manager says this is actually a new bug. I really doubt it but they do seem to be “fixing it”.

    It gets clicks from angry people, that’s the only reason IGN do anything these days.

    Sad that they bought Eurogamer, because they were one of the last sites that hadn’t gone to complete shit.

      That makes sense. Seems I am too though. Doesn’t change the fact that I’ve no idea why they’re so upset about it.
