PlayStation is investigating the integration of an AI assistance feature to help gamers when they encounter challenges. Patent documents reveal plans for an "AI Ghost" that can not only suggest strategies but also take over player controls if necessary. This technology is designed to learn from player data available on platforms like YouTube and Twitch, aiming to provide real-time feedback that corresponds to specific gameplay scenarios. Unlike earlier assistance methods, this AI would track player progress more closely, offering tailored solutions instead of generic guidance.

How will AI improve gameplay for PlayStation users?

The AI is expected to enhance the gaming experience by providing personalized help based on the player’s actions and specific challenges they face, potentially making it easier to overcome difficult game segments.

This new AI feature follows the trend of improving gameplay experience seen in various titles. Games like Bloodborne and the upcoming Clair Obscur often present significant hurdles for players. AI assistance could be particularly beneficial in navigating complex systems within such games, ultimately enabling players to enjoy more seamless gameplay and progression.
