Microsoft and Sony continue to improve their Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles more than a year after their launch on the market. Both consoles received quite a few new features and enhancements during this time, but more are expected to come in the next months.

However, one feature that still misses on PlayStation 4 is the ability to set custom wallpapers. While users can choose from a set of predefined themes, they can’t use custom backgrounds yet, even though Sony promised this feature would eventually make its way to PlayStation 4.

Since there’s no ETA for the release of this feature, we can only hope that Sony will bring the ability to set custom wallpapers on PlayStation 4 very soon.

In light of the new findings, it seems that PlayStation 4 owners won’t have to wait too long to get this feature on their favorite console.

Developer Rebellion offers free wallpapers to Xbox One and PS4 owners

The folks over at DualShockers have just found out that developer Rebellion, makers of Zombie Army Trilogy, have released some custom wallpapers for both Xbox One and PlayStation 4, knowing that the latter doesn’t lets players use their own backgrounds.

In order to download the free backgrounds released by Rebellion, you will have to subscribe to a newsletter. After getting confirmation, you will be able to visit the webpage where the said wallpapers will be available for download for free.

On the page where the PlayStation 4 custom wallpapers are listed, there’s also a short note about the feature: “Note for PS4 users: The ability to set a background should be available in an upcoming System Software update.”

Although Sony has yet to announce when exactly PlayStation 4 players will be able to set custom backgrounds on their consoles, the fact that some developers have already started to offer their own for free gives us hope that this might happen very soon.
