UX / Product / Gaming
A concept redesign of the PlayStation 5 home experience, rethinking how players browse, launch, and discover content across the console's signature interface.
PS5's dashboard is a beautifully cinematic interface, but under the surface, small friction points add up. I explored how the home experience could become faster, clearer, and more expressive without losing what makes it feel distinctly PlayStation.
Chapter 01
01, The Brief
The PS5 dashboard is gorgeous, large cinematic tiles, rich motion, immersive audio. But everyday tasks like reopening a specific game or navigating to the store often require more clicks and mental load than they should.
I set out to preserve what players love about the PS5's personality while tightening the interactions around the most common flows.
Chapter 02
02, Structure First
Before touching visual design, I mapped the core flows in low-fidelity wireframes. This let me test hierarchy and navigation patterns quickly without getting distracted by polish.
Chapter 03
03, High-Fidelity
With the structure locked, I moved into visual design, bringing the PS5's hallmark deep blues, translucent panels, and cinematic tile motion into every screen.
The goal was a dashboard that still feels unmistakably PlayStation, but gets players into their games faster and makes the store's depth easier to browse.
Chapter 04
Live Prototype
Takeaway
The best console dashboards feel invisible at speed and immersive at rest, cinematic when you want to browse, out of the way when you just want to play.
