As a lot of you’ll little doubt bear in mind, the PS Store has change into overrun with copy-and-paste video games, the vast majority of which exist to dole out 60-second Platinum Trophies. Shopping the New Releases part of the PS Store has consequently change into a nightmare, as you’re inundated with a number of permutations of the very same recreation.
It’s change into an actual downside, burying extra official video games. Whereas we don’t essentially agree with heavy-handed curation – who’s to determine whether or not a recreation ought to exist or not? – we identified not too long ago that Sony does have an actual downside on its arms discovering an enough resolution to this. We prompt some good modifications to the way in which the PS Store surfaces content material might assist.
And earlier this week we observed the agency has already made an adjustment. Each on the browser-based PS Store and PS5 app, the New Video games ribbon is now sorted by Finest Promoting versus Launch Date. This implies, on the time of typing at the least, you’ll see video games like Cult of the Lamb and Arcade Paradise quite than The Leaping Noodles Turbo and The Pig Quiz.
Now the important thing element right here is that the latter video games nonetheless exist, and might be discovered pretty simply with a few clicks, however the default filter is a bit more helpful for the common consumer. Clearly there’s much more work to be carried out right here, however as a short lived stopgap resolution, we’re impressed by the pace at which Sony has adjusted right here.
