The newest PlayStation 5 system software update has been implemented, bringing with it the long-awaited Community Game Help feature.
When having trouble with a particular game, you’ll now be able to use the expanded Game Help feature to watch gameplay videos posted by other players. Videos you take won’t be automatically posted–you’ll need to opt in for anyone else to see your content. A PlayStation Plus subscription isn’t available to use this incredible feature. Also, your Remote Play connection status can now be hidden.
See the full patch notes for the 1GB below:
- Game Help has been expanded by adding Community Game Help features.
- In Game Help, you will see hints labeled Community Game Help in supported games, which indicates that the hint was generated from other players’ gameplay videos.
- You can participate in Community Game Help by allowing your gameplay video to be automatically captured and added to the feature upon review.
To opt in, go to Settings > Captures & Broadcasts > Captures > Auto Captures > Community Game Help, and then select Participate. You can also opt out at any time.
- In Remote Play, if the persistent message “Remote Play connected.” is displayed during Remote Play, you can now hide this on your game screen. Go to Settings > System > Remote Play and turn on Hide Remote Play Connection Status.
- We’ve improved system software performance and stability.
- We’ve improved the messages and usability on some screens.
Released on November 12, 2020, the PlayStation 5 has sold over 50 million units worldwide. A slim version was released in November 2023.
