The blue background on your PlayStation 4 can get a little boring.

But if you've updated your console to the latest version 5.50 update, you'll be able to swap it out.

First, you'll need to load up a USB stick with some images you'd like to put on your PS4. Make sure they're nice and high-quality – small, blurry photos will look terrible.

Then make sure all the images are located in a folder named 'IMAGES', which allows your PS4 to recognise them.

Once that's done, plug the USB stick into a USB port on your PS4.

To change the wallpaper, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Then choose Themes
  3. Hit Select Theme
  4. Choose the Custom option
  5. Press Select Image
  6. Then choose USB Storage Device

If you haven't got any great pics already, Sony has helfpully rounded up 23 amazing for you to try out.

The new 5.50 update also lets you customise your Tournaments team page with a unique team logo or background.

Once again, you'll need to load these images onto a USB stick, then:

  1. Go to Events
  2. Then select Teams
  3. Then choose your team
  4. Then press Edit Team Profile
