PlayStation outlines AI tools to boost game development

Reported by AI Image generated by AI

Sony executives detailed new uses for generative AI during the company's earnings call on May 8. PlayStation CEO Hideaki Nishino described tools that speed up animation and personalization on the platform. The remarks came alongside forecasts of lower PS5 sales due to memory shortages.

Sony's latest PlayStation 5 exclusive Saros has sold just over 300000 copies in its first two weeks on sale. The game has generated $22 million in revenue so far. Sales are tracking slightly behind those of developer Housemarque's previous title Returnal despite a much larger console install base.

Korean developer Shift Up intends to self-publish the sequel to Stellar Blade. The move could end PlayStation exclusivity for the series. Details are expected within the year.

Following initial reports of a 30-day online validation for PS4 digital games, new tests confirm the requirement applies to PS5 as well. Spawn Wave demonstrated PS5 failure after CMOS battery removal, while PlayStation support agents give conflicting explanations. Sony remains silent on the anti-piracy measure.

Users on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles are reporting a new digital rights management system that imposes a 30-day validation timer on digital purchases made from March onward. Without an internet connection after the timer expires, licenses may be revoked, according to demonstrations by modders and preservationists. Sony has not issued a statement on the matter.

Sony has announced the April 2026 lineup for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers' Game Catalog, available starting April 21. Highlights include Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, Squirrel with a Gun, The Casting of Frank Stone, Monster Train, Football Manager 26 Console, The Crew Motorfest, and Warriors: Abyss, with Wild Arms 4 exclusive to Premium subscribers. Leaks from Dealabs accurately predicted several titles ahead of the official PlayStation Blog reveal.

Following earlier leaks about a new God of War franchise starring Faye, a fresh report details the prequel's inclusion of East Asian and possibly Mayan mythologies, with unique elements like a gelatinous cube companion and Merlin as a talking sword.
