PlayStation Store Restores Popular Feature Lost Since PS4 Era
The PlayStation Store has recently reintroduced a significant feature that many users have missed since the PlayStation 4 era. Following the release of the PlayStation 5 in 2020, Sony made various changes to the Store’s design, resulting in the removal of several functionalities.
Restoration of Features
For years, the PlayStation Store underwent numerous updates and redesigns. However, the changes implemented at the launch of the PS5 were particularly controversial, as they eliminated crucial features that users had come to rely on. Most notably, trailers and images associated with games were missing from the web version of the Store, a feature that was available during the PS4 era.
Changes in Game Listings
- Previous Availability: Users could view trailers and screenshots on game listings.
- Current Restoration: Images are now available, enhancing user experience.
- Limitations: Trailers are still not embedded; users must visit YouTube for gameplay videos.
Despite the return of images, the absence of trailers remains frustrating for many users. They still need to navigate away from the PlayStation site to fully explore game visuals through YouTube.
Continued Uncertainty
As of now, Sony has not provided detailed information about any further updates or adjustments to the PlayStation Store. The company typically keeps its plans for the digital storefront under wraps, leading to speculation among its user base.
Fans are perplexed by the cycle of redesigning the PlayStation Store—removing functionalities only to reintroduce them later. This seems to be a recurring pattern with each new generation of PlayStation consoles.
