Sony once again set the agenda at the intersection of video games and artificial intelligence. A new patent reveals that the company is exploring the creation of AI-caused podcasts starring iconic PlayStation characters.
The information comes from a patent spotted by the site PushSquare. The system would aim to offer news, updates, and recommendations personalized for each player.
Personalized podcasts according to each player's tastes
According to the patent, Sony would use large language models (LLMs) to generate unique podcasts. The content would adapt to each user's interests.
The audio could provide information about game updates, friends' activity, or DLC releases. All this without needing to navigate through menus or widgets.
PlayStation characters as hosts
One of the most striking points is that the podcasts could be narrated by PlayStation characters. Figures such as Kratos or Aloy would be responsible for communicating the latest news.
The idea aims to reinforce immersion and create a closer bond between the player and their favorite titles.
A step beyond the traditional dashboard
Today, PlayStation already displays news and achievements from the dashboard. This proposal seeks to group all that information in a more accessible format.
