The open questions

Unknown

When does it launch?

No launch date has been announced. Nothing more specific than the announcement itself has been shared publicly.

Unknown

Do old accounts come back?

Unclear whether original accounts, friends lists, or photos will be restored — a sore subject, since Myspace famously lost years of user-uploaded music in a 2019 server migration.

Unknown

How customizable are profiles?

The original Myspace let you restyle your entire page with pasted code. Whether the relaunch supports themes, layouts, or custom CSS is unconfirmed. This is the question Oddself is watching most closely.

Unknown

What about the music?

Profile songs are reportedly returning, but licensing, catalogs, and whether artist pages return haven’t been addressed publicly.
