PlayStation 5 owners are reporting seeing advertisements on the device’s home screen.

The ads, visible on users' home screens when they hover over a game title, can only be removed if you disconnect from the Internet.

Not all games are showing ads, but some show an image for a YouTube video or a note about patch notes or updates for the game.
