PS5 has a hidden secret feature that allows skipping logos after viewing them once when playing a game. It retains these settings even on a new save file.
Lance Mcdonald, who is well-known in the Souls community with his mods for the various games in the Souls series, has finally received his PS5 and shared some details including a hidden feature that automatically skips logos when starting the game.
According to Lance, once you boot up a game and see the studio logos, they won't appear again the next time. He likely means Demon's Souls here, which is a first-party game, however, we are not sure if this applies to other third-party games as well.
Lance also suggests that there might be a way to reset this setting, but so far he hasn't managed to figure it out yet.

Thats perfect! Now give me that shit for movies.

 

[Ellery]

Okay that is awesome. I super love this

 

[ethomaz]

That is how it should be since ever.

 

[Phrixotrichus]

This is a feature I want for ALL games on ALL platforms.

 

[Birdo]

Kojima isn't going to like this.

 

[Bryank75]

That's actually really awesome... I dunno if every studio will like that their branding etc is not showing up anymore but I always find that I only want to know who made a game if it is really amazing and I need to know for the future...

 

[Nankatsu]

This needs to be the new standard.

 

[iconmaster]

Now it's next gen.

That's almost worth $400 itself.

 

[ToughestSoul]

It only took 30 years.

 

[splattered]

LOVE THIS. Needs to be on all consoles from now on.

 

[MiguelItUp]

This is awesome! Really should be the new norm for EVERY piece of media. I'm absolutely loving Yakuza Like A Dragon, but I absolutely hate having to sit and wait through the splash screens, lmao.

 

[vkbest]

Im sure this only works with Sony games.

 

[theHFIC]

But if I go to the kitchen to get a fresh glass of Mountain Dew right after I launch a game for the first time, not expecting the lighting fast speeds of the custom SSD to quickly load the game, how will I know if a game is powered by the Unreal Engine or not?? Or FMOD and HAVOK physics????

 

[dottme]

I'm expecting the shitty studios to avoid this feature. Do we have feedback on Assassin Creed or NBA 2k21?

 

[OnThePathToWisdom]

Called it two weeks ago

Spider-Man: Miles Morales PS5 Load Time Leaked

Is this a cold boot or a simple resume? My Xbox One X is just as fast as this when the game is already pre-loaded. EDIT: Just so you all know, the only reason i asked this was because it was so fast i didn't even see the part with the menu because i blinked or something and then the video was...

[R6Rider]

Very cool feature. Watching certain game startups got old quick. More so than others.

 

[BlvckFox]

It's always the little things, that's cool as fuck.

 

[existensmaximum]

This is a killer feature, awesome! Finally!

 

[nemiroff]

This is actually fucking awesome! I've been waiting for this forever, no kidding. Intro-logos and other unnecessary shit they throw in there is a pet peeve of mine.

Is it only Sony games, or all?

 

[vkbest]

You already trying to start some shit?

Nope, but those comparative videos of load speeds we are seeing those days, you can see the logos from Assassins or DMC5, so I suppose this only works with Sony games.

 

[Arxisz]

I don't think it's only for Sony games, I recall seeing Assassin"s creed Valhalla do the same in a comparison video on youtube, the Series X version had the logo's but the ps5 version skipped them.

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

That's a good feature.

 

[R6Rider]

Nope, but those comparative videos of load speeds we are seeing those days, you can see the logos from Assassins or DMC5, so I suppose this only works with Sony games.

I misread your post. Edited my post lol

 

[CobraXT]

If it doesn't work on old games than it's not a feature

 

[Kamina]

Now please tell me that we can get rid of the epilepsy warning too

 

[eyesabitdull]

Nope, but those comparative videos of load speeds we are seeing those days, you can see the logos from Assassins or DMC5, so I suppose this only works with Sony games.

Lmao I was gonna reply to his post but he has already edited and retracted his statement.

But yeah, I dont see why your train of thought would be wrong.

It may actually, very well be, a thing for Sony first party games.

I dont see why third party developers have to agree to such a thing if they dont want that.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Great QoL feature!

 

[TheCrowsReaper]

I always love a great quality of life improvement.

 

[jaysius]

Xbox Series X needs this feature too.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Awesome. Should be a standard feature.

Ya Epic I get it, you want gamers to see Powered by Unreal Engine for the millionth time.

 

[Nymphae]

Thank god, put it in the fucking credits if it's not necessary for masking loads, I could not care less what technology helped produce the game every time I boot.

 

[Fuz]

Oh. Maybe now we PC players won't need to delete the movie files from game folders anymore.

 

[R6Rider]

If not for

Xbox Series X needs this feature too.

Should be a feature for every system.

 

[Arxisz]

Here you can see the ps5 skip the logo's while series X still has them for Valhalla

Could be. But I think some of the forced delay was to mask loading times, which are less of an issue on PS5.

 

[jaysius]

I wonder if Devs will get mad at Sony for implementing this? It is a "hack" of the sorts on PCs, devs seem to like to show you all their shitty screens.

 

[RoboFu]

I love that!

I hope that doesnt cause issues with tool makers. The reason those logos are there to begin with is its usually part of the devs licensing agreement.

 

[GenericUser]

Best next gen feature yet

 

[reksveks]

I wonder if Devs will get mad at Sony for implementing this? It is a "hack" of the sorts on PCs, devs seem to like to show you all their shitty screens.

I think its a flag that they can do with what they will. There will some commercial deals that dev's have with tech vendors that involves showing the logo's.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

This is an amazing feature. These SSD's and UI updates really are the stars of next gen.

 

[Allandor]

Damn, that's a nice feature.

Never occurred to me why I must watch developers logos, if I already bought their game. Just like with DVDs and those annoying unskipable copy-protection things, you only have when you bought the DVD.

 

[Neo_game]

I noticed it too in one of the loading screen comparison. So this is a secret feature everyone was talking about that was not revealed yet?

 

[Jack Videogames]

Pack it up, boys. Console war is over. Glory be.

 

[Allandor]

Here you can see the ps5 skip the logo's while series X still has them for Valhalla

Timestamped:

Those logos ... well quickresume also eliminates those, at least if you already played the game and not 4-5 others in between. But as nice this feature is, I really want to deactivate it, just to save the write-cycles on the SSD.

 

[Javthusiast]

Kojima isn't going to like this.

Kojima gonna do the ultimate feauture next game. First time booting up the game you see all the logos etc. then can play the game. Second boot and more and you will see the logos, but the game will be skipped forever.

 

[Kimahri]

The only next gen feature I care about. Maybe I should get a PS5 this side of new years after all.

 

[Trogdor1123]

This might be the best feature ever...

 

[Trogdor1123]

Damn, that's a nice feature.

Never occurred to me why I must watch developers logos, if I already bought their game. Just like with DVDs and those annoying unskipable copy-protection things, you only have when you bought the DVD.

That's so true... It makes no sense

 

[SirTerry-T]

Be interesting to see how this applies to licensed titles, FIFA, etc.
