Sony Files PlayStation Patent to Help People Terrible at Video Games Be Better

Sony has a filed a new patent. The patent is supposed to help people who are terrible at games get better. The way they are planning on doing this is to give an AI that adapts to your level and will push you accordingly. The idea isn’t new as it sounds like what players have been asking in training or tutorial mode for awhile now.

“Sony has filed a new patent to help PlayStation gamers terrible at video games be better, or at least feel better while playing PS4 and PS5 games. Every couple of months, a new PlayStation patent surfaces online, and the newest — titled “Use of Machine Learning to Increase or Decrease Level of Difficulty in Beating Video Games Opponent — describes an AI technology that would adapt to a player’s skill, decreasing and increasing the difficulty to provide the ideal level of challenge.

The concept isn’t exactly new, but the patent and the technology it protects is, and it sounds quite advanced. Naturally, the patent itself — which can be viewed here — is packed full of technical jargon and dense detail that’s difficult to decipher. That said, more or less, the patent describes a technology that collects data on player patterns, including player strategies. Combing this with other relevant data, like success rate and skill, the technology makes changes to the AI and its behavior to either accommodate for a player that’s struggling with the section of the game or a player blowing through it. In other words, it allows for AI to adapt on-the-fly to the player.”
