It appears to be like like Sony’s lastly making a transfer to repair PS5’s Exercise Playing cards characteristic, which has been damaged for fairly a while now. We’ve written at size concerning the challenge earlier than, noting how Exercise Playing cards have turn into nearly ineffective since Sony eliminated the ‘Resume Exercise’ perform from them. Whereas that perform is unlikely to return, as we speak’s PS5 system replace means that Sony hasn’t forgotten about Exercise Playing cards in spite of everything.
February 2025’s PS5 system replace beta improves Exercise Playing cards
‘Resume Exercise’ was arguably probably the most helpful perform of Exercise Playing cards, following the removing of which the characteristic was largely deserted by Sony. Final December, I wrote about Exercise Playing cards not working in any respect in some circumstances, and displaying incorrect info in others.
Within the patch notes for as we speak’s PS5 system software program replace beta — obtainable by invite solely — Sony writes:
- We’ve made it easier to view particulars about actions.
- Exercise particulars at the moment are absolutely displayed on playing cards. Potential spoilers will nonetheless be hidden.
Okay, so ‘Resume Exercise’ might be gone for good like I suspected, however these patch notes counsel that these bugged, damaged playing cards will truly work as meant now. I’m not holding my breath, and we received’t learn how nicely they work now till gamers take a look at numerous video games. Nevertheless, one thing is healthier than nothing.
As a reminder, Sony talked about Exercise Playing cards fairly a bit previous to the PS5’s launch, so it’s been a bit shocking to see the characteristic keep uncared for for therefore lengthy.
