We are less than 50 days from the PS5 launch, where is the UI Reveal?

wachie · Sep 25, 2020

And why haven't they shown it? I mean of all the different aspects of the console, this should be the easiest one to reveal. It's not like that it cannot be tweaked or changed by release, so why so much secrecy?

Does anyone remember Shu sitting in a chair on stage and booting into the PS4? Yes, please.

bing · Sep 25, 2020

Maybe the real UI was the friends we made along the way

shancake · Sep 25, 2020

Probably for that exact reason. It's still being tweaked. I feel like there's a lot more to manage this time around with game libraries, upgrades, cloud saves etc.

Ocirus · Sep 25, 2020

Have we seen the full Series X UI? Not trolling, genuinely asking.

SuperBoss · Sep 25, 2020

It's probabaly coming. I'm juat glad they showed games running on their system this close to launch.

Pretty sure it's the same UI that's in the Preview Program right now.

Duxxy3 · Sep 25, 2020

I think we'll see at least some of it over the next week or so.

It's the same as the one rolling out on Xbox One right now.

Probably in the next 50 days? That's plenty of time.

I'll bet by that first week of October.

50 days is still a long ass time.

Some people can't even preorder this thing lol

Agreed. A UI is just a UI lol, so long as it's fast what does it really matter at the end of the day.

Could it be due to patent concerns?

they launched already for the X1

Okie dokie, thanks! Well, I'd certainly like to see it, but I'm also okay waiting another couple weeks. I'm sure they'll want to do either an in-house demonstration of some kind or have someone like Digital Foundry or IGN do one.

Didnt think of that, could be?

Pai Pai Master · Sep 25, 2020

maybe its just not finalized? 50 days is a bit

vatstep · Sep 25, 2020

I just really hope it's not as overwrought as the console design.

RockmanBN · Sep 25, 2020

Apparently Japanese streamers will have hands on with the system in a week. So we should see it before then?

Japanese Youtubers will get Hands-On with PS5 on October 4th.

im guessing it's because how they want to keep everyone guessing every week and the engagement levels.Its the Same we haven't seen a game run on the series X probably holding it back as well for engagement.

Equanimity · Sep 25, 2020

Here's a screenshot of the UI:

Blayde · Sep 25, 2020

waitin on keighly to tweet it

E.T. · Sep 25, 2020

Still a long time to go. Not sure why people have become so impatient. Have not seen this happen with other products.

RedOnePunch · Sep 25, 2020

I'm sure it'll be fine. I have an SSD in my PS4 now and the UI is super fast. I just hope it launches with themes because themes are fun

Ew a UI held back by cross Gen??

CosmicGP · Sep 25, 2020

More importantly we haven't even got a teardown. It's all the fault of you guys calling it chunky.

Deleted member 198 · Sep 25, 2020

I'd honestly appreciate anything the resembles a deep dive into the system

PS4 UI was shown ~90 days before release. I know people like to say COVID! but of all the aspects of managing a console launch, the UI should be the easiest. Like I said it should be the easiest to tweak/refine/change by launch. Like Jawmuncher pointed out, could be due to patent related reasons, waiting on something to clear perhaps.

CosmicGP said:

PS4 teardown was a week before launch, I'm not holding my breath for that one.

RomanticHeroX · Sep 25, 2020

Why are people so pressed about the UI? Whatever you imagine in your head is probably 90% of the way there. We're past the days of blades and other offbeat but impractical designs. I'm sure it'll be a row of icons to launch a game and some menu bits around the edges.

It's gotta lotta junk in the trunk

fadeawayjae · Sep 25, 2020

Travis Scott will probably reveal it

nsilvias · Sep 25, 2020

its just a refined ps4 ui i bet

mute · Sep 25, 2020

I'm guessing it will be Vita bubbles.

E.T. · Sep 25, 2020

I believe they have their own calendar set and ready. They are following their own path, there is still time to see and hear about games, features, UI, BC etc. A little bit of patience can go a long way.

Thanks OP for your reply, I would be surprised if patents are keeping it from appearing but is a possibility.

Pffft. They'll be running games from a command prompt.

Eh they've already called it "a complete rearchitecturing" saying they're "leaving no pixel untouched."

It's gonna be pretty different I think

Ubik · Sep 25, 2020

I bet October is gonna be full of influencers fucking around with these machines. You are gonna get sick of your Youtube recs being nothing but PS5/XSX videos pretty soon.

Precious Tritium · Sep 26, 2020

Loads so quick you'll never see it

Spinluck · Sep 26, 2020

The thing comes out in November, I'm sure they'll show it before then.

Nabs · Sep 26, 2020

Might be why they haven't done a deep dive. But I am surprised they didn't do a glimpse of the UI as a tease during the last event.

Jawmuncher said:

Like what? I've honestly never heard console UI and patent mentioned together before

Equanimity said:

LOL. I'm down.

AaronMT · Sep 26, 2020

I imagine it's very similar to the PS4 front-end. It seems like that's the UX path they keep going for since The PS3 XMB. I'm not expecting revolutionary changes.

Prototype Viktor · Sep 26, 2020

The boot and UI is so fast it won't show up til day of release

Yasuke · Sep 26, 2020

blurkness said:
For me it's so crazy people pre ordering the consoles without even knowing some basic stuff. Not only PS5 but with XSX too.

The 12 people buying a console based on the UI can just cancel their preorders if they aren't to their liking whenever we get the reveals.

kamineko · Sep 26, 2020

my guess? next week

TimPV3 · Sep 26, 2020

We still don't know how it smells or tastes. Sony should be ASHAMED.

I can't wait until launch day when the shelves are full of PS5s because nobody knew what the UI was going to be, and hated it so much that they returned their console. Then they can stop by the pharmacy and use the money for their medication.

We are less than 50 days from the PS5 launch, where is the UI Reveal?
