PS4 themes are a vital aspect to the PlayStation community. From the best to the worst, they spruce up an otherwise boring background of muted colors and low hums. Indeed, they are one of the first things users experience after a long, hard day of work and are arguably as integral to the overall experience of enjoying games on PS4 as the console’s software lineup.
In this list you’ll be able to find the best PS4 themes for the month of January 2018. Rest assured that not all of them display images of the universe or vast spirals in the deepest corners of space. Rather, each has been hand-picked so as to reflect a broader range of tastes (though admittedly each must possess a certain “cool” factor).
Whether from well-established PlayStation consoles or the product of complete imagination, each entry here is easy on the eyes. Seeing as how the PlayStation Store updates every Tuesday, there’ll be no shortage of great themes coming in the near future, though what exactly we may get remains up in the air.
Thankfully you have us to do all the work of clicking through page after page for you. PS4 themes may look appealing in their thumbnail images but oftentimes display a much less desirable product once you see it on motion on your television screen at home. There are many that are worth the usual $2.99 investment, however, and as you’ll see below, each is practically a steal given how much satisfaction you’ll get from guests ogling at your PS4 when they come over.
Alpha Rain Gunner Dynamic Theme
The Alpha Rain Gunner dynamic theme from Top Rated plays a foreboding tune as a blond, pixelized man runs while pointing a gun out in front of him. Perhaps this theme's coolest touch is the rain, as it seems to fall in slow motion across the screen.
Laser Cats from Space Dynamic Theme
If you're the type of person that loves cats no matter what situation they're tossed in, the Laser Cats from Space dynamic theme may be right up your alley. Two kitties blast off red beams of light from the eyes while an intergalactic space melody hums in the background.
Her Eyes 4K Dynamic Theme
The Her Eyes 4K dynamic theme admittedly feels a little out of place, but one can't help but observe how stunning it looks thanks to the magic that is 4K photography. A soothing piano melody plays over it, making it quite the tranquil experience in between intense bouts of in-game action.
Can Can Dance Dynamic Theme
January was a good month for cat lovers. The Can Can Dance dynamic theme features three adorable cats strutting their stuff while flashing lights and an enthusiastic crowd cheer them on. It's immature, silly, and nonsensical, making it one of January's best themes by default.
Neon Dinner Dynamic Theme
The Neon Dinner dynamic theme is a fun trip through a colorful, lovely rendered diner. The upbeat, cheery music that accompanies the theme makes it that much more enjoyable, especially when it greets you once you boot up your PS4.
River Valley Nightsky Dynamic Theme
The River Valley Nightsky dynamic theme is simple yet so effective. Featuring a beautiful view in between two cliffs, the light guitar strumming playing in the background provides for a calming, peaceful experience.
Beauty Of Snow In New York Dynamic Theme
There are few things as beautiful as New York City. Snow only adds to the metropolis' charm, as seeing a wintry powder cover the roofs of cars and light posts feels like something straight out of a movie. The Beauty of Snow In New York dynamic theme captures this excellently, convincing you to book your next vacation in the Big Apple as soon as possible.
Beautiful Space Rain 2 Dynamic Theme
The Beautiful Space Rain 2 dynamic theme is a trippy marvel, if only because of how it moves like a breathing rainbow. It piques your curiosity as to whether or not a place like this could actually exist out there, all while entertaining you with a funky, intergalactic beat.
Conveyor Sushi Dynamic Theme
A simple fact of life is that sushi is just so good. The Conveyor Sushi dynamic theme is one of the best things to happen to fellow sushi lovers out there, as it hums a traditional Japanese tune over lines of wonderfully rendered sushi. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty hungry over here.
Acrylic Forest Dynamic Theme
The Acrylic Forest dynamic theme is a moving work of art. Haunting music plays over a painting of curving lines and lifeless trees. Stay a while and the tune begins to slowly become more sinister as a thick fog besets the area before you. It's artistic, creepy, and well worth the $2.99 price tag.
