Sony Files Patent to Help PlayStation Players Get Good

Sony may be working on a new program to help players practice their gaming skills, at least according to a recently-filed patent. As any seasoned FPS or fighting game fan will attest, gaming takes practice. Online lobbies for games like Call of Dutyare often filled with newcomers who have yet to learn the finer points of said game — and are just as often taken out by the more experienced players before they can get the chance to get properly acclimated.

This can make getting into online titles like Fortnite frustrating for beginners, especially since not every game has a designated tutorial to help them learn the basics. Even co-op titles like Elden Ring can be difficult to learn, making the idea of a universal option for PlayStation gamers to practice their favorite games an interesting and appealing idea. Luckily, it looks like Sony is aiming to create just that for newcomers and battle-hardened virtual warriors alike.
