"Sony has filed a patent document that could potentially allow AI to take over your game for you if you're struggling with it. The documents suggest that this "ghost assistance" can be activated at any time to either guide a player through progression or assume direct control of gameplay. As revealed in the patent documents first filed in September 2024 (via VGC), the AI assistance system could potentially play through a section of a game that a player is struggling with, completing it for them."
"Over the last couple of years, Sony has worked on several features to make its video games more approachable. The PS5 console launched with the Game Help system, which offers helpful tips and tricks via short videos and images on PS5 cards that can be instantly called up during gameplay. While developers haven't widely adopted it, it's still a useful feature for the games that do."
Sony filed a patent in September 2024 proposing an AI "ghost assistance" system that players can activate to receive guidance or allow the AI to assume direct control and complete difficult sections. The system would be trained using footage from many users who have played the game and other online gameplay videos. The PS5 already includes Game Help with short videos and images for in-game tips, and Sony has expanded accessibility options in first-party titles. Some games have faced criticism for offering excessive assistance. Microsoft is developing Gaming Copilot as a comparable AI-driven in-game support feature.
