Game Help within the PlayStation 5 ecosystem is set to receive a significant upgrade known as ‘Community Game Help’, as announced by Sony. This enhancement, initially introduced in 2020 alongside the launch of the PlayStation 5, aims to offer players convenient access to hints, tips, and walkthrough videos to aid in their gaming progression without the need to seek external sources.
Enhancing the Gaming Community
Sony's upcoming feature, 'Community Game Help', signifies a shift towards incorporating hints and clips from fellow gamers and creators. These user-generated contributions will be distinctly labeled as “Community Game Help,” expanding the scope of assistance available to players. According to the PlayStation blog, this new feature is expected to roll out in select games over the course of the coming year.
Streamlined Assistance Process
Upon opting in through the settings, players engaging in specific activities within supported games will have their gameplay automatically recorded. Subsequently, these clips will undergo moderation to determine their potential to assist the gaming community. Approved videos will be published as Game Help hints, clearly marked as being from the community, with users receiving system notifications on their consoles.
Inclusive Content Creation
Sony assures users that only raw gameplay footage will be uploaded, eliminating concerns about personal audio, webcam feeds, or party chat recordings being shared. Users will have the ability to view and manage their published videos, granting them control over their shared content. Furthermore, alongside community-generated hints, the existing developer-provided assistance will remain accessible, offering a comprehensive pool of resources for players. Additionally, players can contribute to the curation process by rating the Community Game Help hints, aiding in the creation of more tailored and beneficial content for the gaming community.
