A noticeable feature of the PS5 is its music during game installations. As players wait, they can hear light tunes from certain titles. This has sparked conversation among the gaming community, with varied preferences for specific home menu jingles.
The Sound of Anticipation
Some players appreciate this new addition. "Neva" remarked it’s the most peaceful experience he's encountered. Others, however, find it irritating, with someone stating they turned the feature off to escape the annoyance.
Two games that surfaced repeatedly in online discussions for their catchy beats are "Stellar Blade" and "Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania," which a fan claims is the main reason they still have the latter installed.
Popular Selections and Nostalgia
Comments suggest a range of favorites:
"Stellar Blade" and "Tekken 8" received acclaim for their engaging themes.
"Persona 5 Royal" and "Tales of Arise", highlighted for their unique soundtracks, are also mentioned.
Interestingly, some gamers recall the nostalgic sounds of their past consoles. One even notes that the "Mii Channel" music should be recognized for its iconic vibe.
"I vibed to PS4’s themes way harder," commented one user, emphasizing a longing for greater variety in game themes.
A Divide on Home Menu Music
Among the comments, there is a clear divide:
Positive Sentiment: Many appreciate the current jingles, citing them as peaceful or enjoyable while gaming or even napping.
Negative Feedback: Some feel the jingles clash with their mood, preferring the simplicity of static sounds or themes from previous consoles.
One user expresses frustration:
"Too many games don’t have a jingle; it’s dull!"
Key Insights

📉 Split reactions: Many find the jingles peaceful; others find them annoying.
🕹️ A call for more options: Requests for themes from PS4 grow louder.
It seems clear that while the home menu jingles add a touch of personality to the PS5, not everyone is on board. The conversation around this feature reflects broader preferences for gaming aesthetics, prompting a deeper look at how sound shapes the gaming experience.
