Los Angeles, California – Sony is set to launch a new Community Game Help feature on the PS5 later this year, aimed at simplifying the gaming experience for players. This innovative feature will automatically generate clips to assist fellow players, allowing users to contribute helpful gameplay content to the community.
Players on the PS5 will have the option to upload gameplay automatically to create hint videos that can be accessed by other gamers seeking assistance. This opt-in feature will enable the console to capture game clips upon completing certain activities in supported titles. The clips will then undergo a review process by a moderator before being approved and published as Game Help hints for other PlayStation players to view, learn from, and rate.
In addition to providing assistance to other players, the community clips can also be utilized by PS5 players for completing trophies and uncovering hidden items in games. This feature eliminates the need for players to search through various videos on platforms like YouTube for help, streamlining the gaming experience and enhancing player engagement.
Once the video clips are uploaded to Sony’s servers, they will be removed from the PS5 console. Approved and published clips will trigger notifications for the players, informing them that their gameplay footage is now accessible as a Game Help hint. Notably, the clips will not contain any audio from external sources such as webcams, microphones, or party chat conversations.
Sony’s senior director of product management for the PS5 platform experience, Sabrina Meditz, has revealed that the Community Game Help feature will initially roll out for select games and is expected to expand to more titles in the future. This proactive approach aims to foster a collaborative gaming community and enhance the overall gaming experience for PS5 players.
