Sony’s Hideaki Nishino has said there’s still plenty of features in the pipeline for the PS5.
Sony has said that it still has plenty of “interesting, exciting, fantastic ideas” it wants to bring to the PS5 through future firmware updates. This comes from SVP of Platform Experience at Sony Interactive Entertainment, Hideaki Nishino, who discussed the console’s system software in a recent interview posted to the Official PlayStation Blog. This month, the PS5’s second big firmware update went live, introducing some highly-anticipated features like internal storage upgrades and 3D audio support for built-in TV speakers. Even after this, Nishino says, there’s still “a lot” that the team wants to do. Some of the ideas for features to implement come from community feedback that the team has received since the launch of the PS5 and Nishino says they’ve been “receiving a bunch of feedback from the community through social networks or system telemetry, as well as the media, my family, my friends. We have tons of lists of the feedback”. But the team’s learnings can also be traced back through to the PS4, with Nishino explaining, “we learned a lot through PS4 and continue to learn about how players are using the system and how games are behaving.
