PlayStation Home Getting Streamlined With Update 1.35
Sony has announced that PlayStation Home is getting updated tomorrow, adding a new navigator and reducing load times overall. According to the PlayStation Blog, version 1.35 has been created with the community in mind, and it addresses some of their biggest issues and concerns.
The new navigation breaks content down into handy categories, including user information such as favorite places, personal spaces and friends. An explore section makes it easier to browse the entirety of Home, and Sony can flag new and popular content through the recommend category.
The update will be going live tomorrow, and the service will be down temporarily during that period. Home’s load times were fairly long, and streamlining the overall interface is a wise move. Whether those tweaks are enough to get people who have shunned it so far remains to be seen. It’s certainly a great step, though.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
