It seems like Sony’s lastly making a transfer to repair PS5’s Exercise Playing cards function, which has been damaged for fairly a while now. We’ve written at size concerning the concern earlier than, noting how Exercise Playing cards have change into nearly ineffective since Sony eliminated the ‘Resume Exercise’ perform from them. Whereas that perform is unlikely to return, as we speak’s PS5 system replace means that Sony hasn’t forgotten about Exercise Playing cards in any case.
February 2025’s PS5 system replace beta improves Exercise Playing cards
‘Resume Exercise’ was arguably probably the most helpful perform of Exercise Playing cards, following the elimination of which the function was largely deserted by Sony. Final December, I wrote about Exercise Playing cards not working in any respect in some instances, and displaying incorrect info in others.
Within the patch notes for as we speak’s PS5 system software program replace beta — out there by invite solely — Sony writes:
- We’ve made it less complicated to view particulars about actions.
- Exercise particulars are actually totally displayed on playing cards. Potential spoilers will nonetheless be hidden.
Okay, so ‘Resume Exercise’ might be gone for good like I suspected, however these patch notes recommend that these bugged, damaged playing cards will really work as meant now.
