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.

Introducing a new way to invite PS5 players into your multiplayer sessions

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.

Einhander19722d ago

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

Einhander19721d 10h ago

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.

Tacoboto1d 7h ago

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.

Report: Bloodborne PS5 Version Listed in PlayStation Stars

PlayStation Stars has a Bloodborne PS5 version listed! Does this mean we're finally getting a Bloodborne remaster?

LG_Fox_Brazil16d ago

NO FREAKING WAY!!!!!! IT WAS THE GAME OF THE GENERATION FOR ME!!!!

SimpleSlave16d ago

Not just for you. It WAS the game of that Generation and one of the greatest game ever made.

fr0sty15d ago

I tried so hard to get into it... just not my cup of tea. Maybe I'll try again if they drop a remaster.

Juiceup16d ago

Agreed. Easily one of my favorite games of all time.

jznrpg16d ago

It’s one of the best games all time for sure

Ethereal15d ago

Agreed. It was my favorite game from last generation as well.

Must be a mistake when you click on it goes back to PS4 everything else is listed for PS5

LordStig16d ago

Framerate drops in a souls game is not a problem. It's a challenge.

Tacoboto15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Base Xbox One version of a soulslike with stick drift and a faulty bumper for the biggest challenge

Abnor_Mal16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

I’ve been playing the old hunters dlc recently, bought it when first released but just had it sitting. Finally got to it and just beat the lady in the clocktower. About to traverse the fishing village, when I finish the dlc I will start playing Forspoken.

Aloymetal16d ago

Yes sir!
I have spent an unhealthy amount of hrs on that game including the dlc, 2k to be more accurate lol. Love that game.

Abnor_Mal16d ago

Oh definitely agree with that.

@Aloymetal that’s insane hours of play, I thought I was doing something with my 334 hours lol

anast16d ago

It's amateur hour for me. I only got about 300. I got some work to do. I'm going to put in a couple right now. I just got re-hyped.

GaboonViper16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Enjoy Bro, the evil behind the clocktower is tense AF.

@Aloymetal I have just over 1K hours in Bloodborne, one of the best games ever.

Zenzuu16d ago

Forspoken is a horrible game. I tried giving it a chance, and spent quite a bit of time with it, but ended up dropping it.

OldDuffer15d ago

Each to their own. I loved playing it and really enjoyed the combat system. My wife now has over 200 hours and is still enjoying playing it.
That doesn't invalidate your feelings, but is offered to demonstrate that there are plenty of people who liked it regardless of bad press.

Elda16d ago

You waited 9 years to play the dlc...lol??

CantThinkOfAUsername15d ago

Don't forget to torture yourself a little with Laurence after you finish the Fishing Hamlet.

zaanan15d ago

If the giant shark dudes give you trouble, you can snipe them from doorways.

Aussiesummer15d ago

Oh the orphan of kos, he will show you such sites. Good luck.

Still down here in UK @16.15pm

Stanlittle23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Been down for over a month. What a joke. Wow, 2024 had been total crap as a PS fan.

SegaSaturn66923d ago

Steam deck + humble bundle is very good.

MrNinosan23d ago

Yeah, because PS Stars means the world to PS fans.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Helldivers 2, Rise of the Ronin, Granblue, Stellar Blade and more has made the start of this year as good, if not better than any other.
But what would you know, you surely ain't a PS fan.

Stanlittle22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Please tell me what's the more?

What's coming in 2024 or even 2025?

It's in the bag for ps5 this year. One live service game, Rise of Ronin One of the most boring open worlds in years with lifeless side quests that makes Starfield look great. Stellar Blade a very good game but not S-tier, FF7 Rebirth don't know waiting for pc port because I'm not paying for a game that has frame rate issues even at 30fps

And this is the best star to the year ever? And let me guess Astro Bot will make this the best 2nd half ever for PS too.

Hofstaderman22d ago

New account dude. Dont feed the troll.

jznrpg15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

It’s only a program where you get little trophies for playing games and some points I think? . I literally only check it once a month and don’t think about it.
