The PlayStation 5 will cut your load times and open your wallet

Sony’s reveal of new PlayStation 5 details is straight out of a public relations playbook: The company said only enough to keep people talking. The official name is PlayStation 5 . Ray-tracing support, previously hinted at, will be in hardware. The SSD will be fast. And the controller will have enhanced haptic feedback.

Instead, the PlayStation 5 serves up a “set of joinable activities in real time.” Players can even see the in-game rewards they’ll receive. If Cerny’s statement is as broad is it sounds, it’s a literal game-changer.Want to do a strike? First, load the game. Then log in, which, though simple, is another step and adds a few seconds. Now you’ll come to the director, where you navigate to the menu to either join your friends or queue for a strike solo.

The PlayStation 5 could change that. As someone who’s more than once rage-quit on a game purely because a queue was too long, this idea sounds wonderful. Destiny 2 has struggled with controversial monetization. That includes expensive cosmetic items, exclusive content for certain consoles, and loot boxes. Bungie recently clarified that cosmetic rewards, which are often the game’s most coveted items, will mostly be store exclusives.

Now replace Bungie with any other game developer or publisher, and I think you’ll start to see the problem. Instant gratification is a huge motivator. This feature could be an effective new tool to push players toward opening their wallets.I don’t think it’s either, but it will absolutely change the way you play games. Some changes will be for the better. Some might be annoying. We’ll have to see how it plays out.
