The new PlayStation App for Android and iOS is starting to roll-out to users, and while it’s a step in the right direction, it also removed features that you may have grown accustomed to over the years.
Playstation writes: "Today, we’re excited to share that in the coming months, we’ll introduce the ability for you to generate a shareable link on your PS5 console or on PlayStation App, and send it to other PS5 players through any messaging or social media platform. By opening the link, the recipient will be able to hop into your multiplayer session even if they aren’t already friends with you on PlayStation Network."
Sounds like it opens the floodgates for more Dr Disrespect-likes.
Also, a Google Stadia feature that was never implemented but was spoken about in a way such that streamers could invite viewers into their game with just a link.
Creepy and encourages creeps to be even creepier.
It's just an optional way to make it easier to invite people into groups for multiplayer...
Ps always had a good app. you can buy dlc, for instance, and have it ready when you get home,
check status of friends online,
use the phones keypad to type messages quicker (now ps5 has a mic in controller and voice recognition, that advantage goes away somewhat)
They dont advertise some of their stuff very well in my opinion
Just to add on to what you said.
You also can buy full and PS+ games and start them remotely and even access your whole library and set anything you own to download remotely. You can even manage your storage and delete games from the console, M.2, and USB.
Pretty handy.
Another thing Sony should do in their app is purchase-related too. On the system, you can buy a game even if you "own" it through your PS+ membership (whether it's through Premium or the Monthlies). In the app though, you don't have that capability - only to Download to Console if it isn't already installed.
Visit PlayStation Stars on PlayStation App for the latest campaigns.
The program has been incredibly popular, some of the collectables are pretty cool too. I like the ones for classic PlayStation hardware that you owned like the exact PS3 models you had VITA PSP PS4 models, as well as characters from games that you often get from the "Hard Game Challenge" are pretty fun too.
Hopefully they add it to the PS5 dashboard, apparently it's in the works.
Hey there, PlayStation Stars members! As we enter the month of August, get ready for a fresh wave of campaigns. We’ll have challenges lined up to test your skills, reward your efforts, and add unique digital collectibles to your collection. Be sure to stay connected through PlayStation App for the latest updates and surprises. Without further ado, let’s jump right into the campaign lineup awaiting you this August.
But why? Comparing trophies is a beloved feature
Nobody has any ps5 trophies yet. They said you can play PS4 games but you have to earn the trophies all over again. I think once the ps5 gets in peoples hands for awhile we are going to see more features like these. Hopefully with the ps5 we can delete games from our trophy list.
I still see the old app,for some reason I can't get the new version of the app.
Weak launch. Already axed communities on mobile; somehow found a way to social distance my friendlist even further.
Meanwhile I’ve counted FOUR pages spammed by ‘recently played’. The default page (first icon bottom left). The second icon from the right. Your profile page after clicking your name. Then another link click at the bottom of that. If I’m that forgetful, I’ll just look at my trophies.
Speaking of, bring back the big platinum icon by the game completion % so I can remember who to thumbs up when I get home. *sigh*
