PS5 Will Automatically Skip Studio Logos At Boot After Viewing Them Once

PS5 has a hidden secret feature that allows skipping logos after viewing them once when playing a game. It retains these settings even on a new save file.

[-Foxtrot]

Now THAT is good.

Once you've seen them, you know who's behind the game and it's even on the box art so there's no point with these long ass intros all the time.

Not to mention if you are a hardcore gamer who knows the industry and the like then you've probably been keeping up with the game, watching developer interviews, gameplay videos, reading the studio dev blogs, so on.

I LOVE this!

Every time I boot up TW3 on PS4 I mash to get me past much that crap. Some games don't let you do it at all which always irritates!

[badz149]

"that crap"? you mean the developer's name is crap?

[bouzebbal]

Yes, this was something Shadow Fall did and really impressed me.. The game started so fast too.

badz,
No, but some games really exaggerate the intro screens. A way would be to make them skippable after 1st time boot, or add option in the settings to customize it as you want and skip them altogether.

[FreeFallFrenzy]

I remember for the longest time Crash NSane Trilogy would take like three minutes to get through all of the splash screens. It was sooooo annoying

[frostypants]

@badz149, yes, after a while it is crap. We know who made the game. Imagine if every time you turned on your car you had to wait 15 seconds while it told you it was made by Honda.

[LOGICWINS]

It's a cool feature for sure. It's clear that speed was a priority for Sony this generation.

[Muzikguy]

I guess it's a cool feature. I still can't delete parts of Warzone that people claim to be able to. Personally I don't mind studio logos. Then again if I'm playing something it's most often suspended so I don't see them anyway (don't play online much)

[GamerRN]

I wonder what developers think of this...

[RedDevils]

Are you referring to 2k games?

[Silly gameAr]

They probably don't care much due to the fact that someone is playing their game.

[GamerRN]

I just arrived if they care that their name recognition gets diminished. They take pride in their games, I'm curious if they can or will prevent this...

Then again now that I think of it, it's basically the same as quick resume...

[MajorLazer]

This is an amazing feature 😍😍 Now to just click a game and be at the menu in a few secs.

[gamer7804]

i can kinda see it both ways having family from the industry. You put your blood sweat and tears into a game working 80 hour work weeks for months at a time, it would be nice to have your logo be seen even if for 3 seconds when your game launches.

[frostypants]

I never thought I'd see the day...one of my biggest pet peeves as a lifelong gamer has finally been addressed?

[isarai]

I LOVE the very few instances where games do this. It's such a waste of time

[Eonjay]

Some games probably hide loading behind these logos. With the PS5 loading whole open world games in 1 second, its no longer necessary.

[Teflon02]

On ps4 I was disappointed Killzone was pretty much the only game to do this.i think if a studio wants to put their name in your face. Do it in the story mode intro for a new game and credits, that's it. Keep it short even if it's just 1 screen of logos and it shows the publisher, devs and that's it. Put things like licenses on the title screen and that's it.

Such a great change

[S2Killinit]

I donno I love seeing that Naughty Dog logo

[StoneyYoshi]

yeah there's something about it...

[ActualWhiteMan]

Its a reminder that you are about to play a bad ass quality game.

[neutralgamer1992]

good these small things make a difference in the long run

[SmokinAces]

That will shave even more time off of the boot up times, this is AWESOME!

[cell989]

Super underrated feature !!

[Petebloodyonion]

That's a neat feature!

[Deathdeliverer]

Oh that’s awesome

[QUIMICOMORTAL]

AWESOME

[Z501]

THIS IS THE DREAM!

Well, one of.

[Charal]

Best feature ever
Make sense if you think about it: having a 30s unskippable logo sequences undermine all the work and marketing around SSD and fast loading.

[PhantomTommy]

I can't believe it took this long. I know I'm not the only one who mashes x during those things even though I know it does nothing to speed it up.

[RangerWalk267]

Now that's a clever idea. I'm guessing they patched this option in after seeing the side by side comparison videos of the Series X and PS5 booting up games. Watchdog Legion, valhalla, Dirt 5, Devil May Cry, and Yakuza all loaded faster on the Series X

[RedDevils]

Troll harder next time. But don't worry you'll get there.

[DivineHand125]

I didn't even know I wanted this feature. Good job Sony

[Ninver]

Awesome. Man can't wait to jump in.

[ziggurcat]

Cool - especially because some games don't let you skip those screens.

[l33t_haxx0r]

so thats how the games boot so fast, nothing to do with the ssd!

[CaptainObvious878]

Paradoxically, this is a small thing, and yet a very big thing.

Very happy to hear this.

[ufo8mycat]

Brilliant feature!

That stuff needs to be in the credits. I get it, they want to advertise who made it, but it was so annoying having to wait each time to get past all the company logos.

Nice work Sony

[Stanjara]

THAT is F::: nice!:)

[gold_drake]

thank god, some of them take ages to go away lol

[Mr_Luke]

Great, finally! When i see those long logo intros i keep pressing all the buttons on the pad, hoping to find a way to skip them :P (even when i perfectly know i can't...).

[Locutus_of_borg]

Fantastic feature...hope the other company can adopt this feature too

[ElementX]

As long as the game is in quick resume you don't have to see them.

[Locutus_of_borg]

Thankyou

[Bathyj]

Man the PS5 is so quick. Miles loads in like 2 seconds from the menu. I haven't seen a fast travel point yet, but you can bring up challenges you can do at they're scattered around everywhere and jump straight into them. Takes about a second.

FYI man that ray tracing is so sweet. Tried the 60fps. Looked great. Don't care. I'm different. As long as the framerate doesn't fluctuate I don't care what it is. I want them nextgen visuals. Each to their own.

[DaniMacYo]

Yeah this is a nice feature. I often watch the logos first time, then want to skip them to get into my game that I'm really familiar with after time, but some just don't let you and it does get annoying some times. No disrespect to the devs and distributors. I know who you are and appreciate your game but I need to get on with my gaming ASAP LOL.

[MetroidFREAK21]

Oh, that's pretty cool

[drunkenspy007]

wow, this is amazing, i thought we'd always be stuck with those

[stiggs]

That is a great feature.

[ChasterMies]

Maybe the second good thing to come out of 2020.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Cool...now unlock the ssd bay!

[Spartacus10]

Being able to choose a game for the system to auto-load when the system starts would save a lot of time too.
Then you could just press the button to switch on the console and without having to press any more buttons you would get straight into the games main menu. When you're finished with the game you can either disable the feature to change it to a new game.

[No Way]

Eh, this doesn't bother me as much as unskippable credits. I don't care who any of those people are (I'll never know them).

[oof6781]

Didnt ask for this.

But i friggin love it.

[TheCaptainKuchiki]

PC desperately NEED this too omg. Unskippable logos ans intros are the WORST.
Also unskippable credits need to go away as well and yes I'm looking at you GTA.

[Bender6502]

I love this! Quite often I have quit a game because I have gotten so frustrated with such unskippable nonsense. Still, I'm not sure how publishers are going to see it.

[Challengerscatpack]

Okay, this is cool. Hope Xbox does the same thing because game startups are frustrating.

[Sayai jin]

Sweet!

[P_Bomb]

Long overdue for GTAV.

[sourOG]

Nice. Just put your logo in the corner of the main menu. I don’t hate on companies for putting their name on their work.

[1nsomniac]

Now this is the best news I’ve heard in a long, long time. This is amazing news. Well done Sony!

You’ve won me over with this big time!

[InUrFoxHole]

No clue why I dont like this. I dont mind the 3 seconds to see a dev logo if the game is good lol. The 2 i really didn't mind seeing were bungie and naughty dog

[cyclindk]

This should be standard across all platforms, including PC.

[nibblo]

They were really just there to hide loading so once you have seen them once what is the point

[Chocoburger]

The best news of 2020. I can't believe it took a console manufacturer this long to finally stop making us sit through the same CGI scenes upon loading games. Very pleased with this!
