PlayStation launched PS5 update causing backlash among hundreds of players. Added in the latest firmware version advertising that replaces background images in the game. The worst part is that you can’t get rid of them because they are built into the user interface.
The most obvious case is the case Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, which replaces the original portrayal with Clive Standen, the voice actor voicing Lieutenant Titus. Another game that does the same thing is Horizon: Forbidden Westwhich leaves behind the art of the game to declare LEGO Horizon Adventure. Full-screen advertising appears when we position ourselves using a control in the game field.
It is worth noting that this advertisement These are not ordinary advertising platforms.similar to those we see on LG TVs. PS5 UI content related to update that use the news section as the game background. In case Space Marine 2The photo with the voice actor is taken from a video on the Focus Entertainment YouTube channel.
Publishers use this section to announce news about a game or franchise.so in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 an image from Season 6 appears, and in Horizon: Forbidden West We’ll see an advert for a LEGO game.
PS5 is one step away from becoming YouTube
In theory, these spaces are intended for relevant gaming information and should not include unwanted advertising. Nevertheless, there’s nothing stopping companies like EA or Activision from running disguised ads update in the News section. In profile Star Wars Jedi: SurvivorEA has added a link to advertise its EA Play subscription.
PS5 “advertising” They only appear in games that are in your library.. If you access Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 from PSN you’ll see the official Titus art, not the YouTube slide. Ads do not appear in older games or from companies that do not use the news section, as is the case with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
At the moment, There is no option to turn off ads in the PS5 interface.. The only alternative to not watching is to disconnect from the Internet completely, although we know this is not an effective solution. If the protests get louder or the company uses this feature to load ads, Sony will likely take action and release an option to remove the feature.
