Truant Pixel’s been churning out awesome PlayStation 4 dynamic themes for some time now, with its amazing PlayStation 2 animated wallpaper frequently topping the PlayStation Store charts. Sometimes the developer will upload unofficial concepts that it’s been working on behind-the-scenes, and this PSone theme simply has to get the greenlight from Sony.
Designed to celebrate 500 million units sold, it begins with the console’s legendary startup sound. The theme then proceeds to pan around a 3D render of the Japanese giant’s inaugural console, but what’s particularly neat is that if you scroll to the top layer of the console’s dashboard, it cuts away the plastic revealing the internals. Just watch the video to see for yourself.
It’s worth reiterating that this is just a concept and will not be released commercially, unless Sony gives Truant Pixel the go ahead. “We do not have a mandate to create such a theme officially, however high we would jump at the chance to do so,” the developer wrote on YouTube. Come on Shawn Layden et al – this needs to become a reality.

Ok, that's an awesome theme. I'm still using the PS2 Legacy theme on my PS4.
This needs to happen!
That PS One startup theme hits me right in the nostalgia!
I'd pay good money to have that on my shiny new white ps4 pro
I don't usually care much about themes but this does look awesome.
Well Sony let them release it. 😃
This is beautiful.
And man, the memories of many late night gaming sessions came flooding back with that iconic PS1 boot sound. This theme is arguably better than Sony's own 20th anniversary PS4 theme.
Not to mention playing my favorite CD's and watching the music pulsate to the colourful PS1 visualizer. Man I miss those days.

But I wonder : if Sony mandated this guy to do the Ps2-theme... Isn't there a real possibility ? For this concept to be released, I mean. It sounds possible !
And honestly, it may be the only theme that can replace my FFVII theme. For a time, at least.
Though I can appreciate that it's well made, nostalgia does nothing for me.
@Bobobiwan They'd probably request a few changes but yes, I think there's a possibility if this gets enough media traction they'll let it release commercially.
Top notch.
very nice theme and all but didn't the PlayStation 20th Anniversary theme do the same with the ps1 boot up? i like the 3d render of the ps1 though.
i'm also using the ps2 legacy theme right now on my ps4.
@PS_Nation @Turismo4GT @roe @Marios-love-child @Hordak @Deadlyblack Agreed I'd pay to have this theme, though free would be preferable.
Here's hoping Sony approaches them.
Wow looks great im also using the ps2 legacy theme though the legacy theme looks quite soft on a 4k screen
I'm still using the 20th anniversary theme, which also comes with the PSone start-up sound, but just the sound, not the logo.
If we're being really picky, that technically is not a "PSone", it's a "PlayStation" or "PS1". "PSone" was an entirely revamped model.
