PS5 Welcome Hub Poll

Most PS5 users should now have access to the 'Welcome' hub — a customisable screen that sits on your console's home menu, which basically just gives you a bunch of PS5 features at a glance.

You can choose to see your friends list, your friends' recent game-related activities, your Trophy count, your controller's battery charge... you can even stick PS Store wishlist reminders on there.

And, perhaps most importantly, you can customise the Welcome hub's background using either preset designs or your own screenshots. It's not quite the custom backgrounds or themes of the PS4 era, but it's the closest thing we've got.

The question, then, is whether you're actually making use of the new Welcome hub. While it is convenient to have all of that console information sitting on a single screen, we do wonder if some users will simply skip over it more often than not.

So, throw a vote into our poll, and then let us know what you think of the Welcome hub in the comments section below.
