Sony has rolled out the latest PlayStation 5 system software update, version 24.03-09.20.00, bringing with it the highly anticipated Community Game Help feature. This update allows users to tap into a wealth of community-generated hints for supported games such as Granblue Fantasy: Relink and the upcoming Stellar Blade.
Under this new feature, hints labelled asCommunity Game Help are now seamlessly integrated into the Game Help section for supported titles, according to Sony. These hints are sourced from gameplay videos shared by fellow players. Users are also empowered to rate the helpfulness of these hints, a move that Sony believes will enable the curation of informative assistance for players.

Seamless Integration
Once activated, the PS5 will automatically capture gameplay footage upon completing certain in-game activities. This footage undergoes moderation and, if approved, is published as a Game Help hint for the PlayStation community to utilise and evaluate. Sony assures users that these videos are promptly removed from the console upon upload to its servers, alleviating concerns about storage space. Users will be notified via system notification upon publication of their video.

This process is designed to be seamless, with no need for users to manually edit or upload clips for submission. Only raw game footage is uploaded, ensuring that personal images and audio from webcams, microphones, or party chats remain private and are not shared with moderators or the community. Depending on the game being played, the uploaded video may include online IDs or chat messages visible on the game screen.
In addition to the introduction of the Community Game Help feature, update 24.03-09.20.00 also brings improvements to system software performance and stability, with enhancements to messages and usability on select screens.
