In a rare move, Sony dropped a stealth PS5 feature update that adds a custom home screen to greet players. As GTA VI preorders went live around the globe, so did a neat new Welcome Hub animation for the game that automatically plays after booting up and logging into the console.

GTA VI PS5 Welcome Hub overlay is the first such update from Sony

This is the first such update we’ve seen from Sony in this generation, confirming its long-rumored GTA VI marketing partnership with Rockstar Games. Even Sony’s own first-party games have not received this treatment thus far.

For those who haven’t received the update yet, here’s what it looks like in action:

Do note that this is a server-side update, so you can’t force download it. When it’s live in your region, it’ll automatically be applied to your PS5.

The promotion doesn’t end here, though. The PS Store has been overtaken by all things GTA VI. What’s more, the PS App’s icon is now GTA VI-themed. The app has been updated on both Android and iOS in regions where it’s available.

Players are now convinced that Rockstar Games will stealth-drop a new GTA VI trailer sometime soon.

What do our readers think of Sony’s new marketing campaign?
