It would be nice if everyone could see my custom avatar without having to resort to send a real name request.

 

[RasAlGhoul]

No. You’ll be lucky if you can do anything online with the PS5.

 

[Warablo]

Link to the video?

 

[brap]

I own a PS3, PS4 PRO and had an og PS4 so I might be a little biased...
FUCK NO SONY WON'T DO SHIT LMAO

 

[SafeOrAlone]

They will hopefully improve it, but in my opinion, the PS UI has been weak this entire generation, so I don't have high hopes.

 

[JSoup]

The logical answer is yes.

The realistic answer is no.
We reached a point years ago where 'improvements' means 'redo it'. They've been talking about rebuilding the PSN from the ground up for seven years, but it's not going to happen until it's financially viable to do so. Even with the PSN as janky as it is, it's use to complaint ratio is pretty good. I can see them finally starting work on it during the PS5's lifetime, but no actual progress until near the end.

Wow I have never seen an even poll like this ;D

My guess is we will still have "bad" internet services on PS5 compared to XSX/XSS. Maybe a lil faster but not until whole PSN revamp (new data warehouse, more nodes, azure infrastructure etc.)

The entire PS5 dashboard is brand new and faster

PS5 interface to be revealed soon, 100% overhaul over PS4 with new visual language and concepts, entire UI will load in milliseconds

Matt MacLaurin the VP of UX Design at PlayStation has been replying to people on LinkedIn giving further details about the PS5, you can view the most interesting stuff below:

Curious what "very few pixels left from the PS4 gen" could mean. Thoughts? That very little elements are the same (hence same pixels) as in the PS4 UI. Btw yeah, UI/OS features, the hardware teardown and more infos backwards compatibility will be really interesting things to look forward to.

I hope we can see a glimpse of it next sunday.

 

[DeepEnigma]

PSN will never be as fast or stable as XBL!

Hmm so there will be zero improvement from PS4 PSN to PS5 PSN ?

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Haven't had an issue with PSN for years. OP sounds like an xbox FUD merchant.

Some tweaks here or there, a layout difference, maybe find a way to make it a tad speedier. Interface stuff.

yeah you cant complain, if you got nothing to compare it to ;D

 

[ReBurn]

Maybe they'll bring back PlayStation Home.

 

[ipukespiders]

When I first glanced at the title of the thread I read:

PS5: Sony Will improve PSN Services Like Playstation Store, Friends List, PSN Profile, Trophies List, Download speed etc. with Playstation 5?

Until I saw the question mark at the end, then I had to go back and re-read it.

 

[JSoup]

I wouldn't mind that. The people who created it have another virtual world thing going on. It's neat, but very low population.

 

[Warnen]

As long as they don’t leak everyone info again, can’t complain to much.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

I don't know what you guys are complaining about... My DL speeds are just fine, install times are great (I wonder if xbox fixed that on their site, last time I heard it took much longer to install a similar size game on the one), the OS does all I need on a gaming console and it's not clunky (which means it does not get in the way of whatever I'm trying to do, which is usually launch a game or netflix/prime video).

 

[led4lyfe]

I demand sony to bring back ps vue.

 

[DrumNBassDanTTV]

I don't get complaints about PSN. I have no comparison with XBL obviously but honestly I've been using PS4 for 6 years and can't recall any major problems with it. Maybe in the US there are problems with servers or something but I always thought this was kinda overblown on forums.

Its slow and not snappy at all, the new xb UI is ace though, i hope sony improve the ps5 UI in a similar way

 

[Enjay]

They will not. Why should they in all honesty? It would be nice and all but... eh.

 

[Tiamat2san]

I hope so.
it’s sometimes terribly slow on PS4.

 

[Justin9mm]

What kind of afwull bandwith are you talking about

PSN runs flawlessly for me

It is widely known to not be very fast. I'm guessing by flawless you mean it works!?

For example I have a One X and PS4 Pro. I have 100Mbps download speed through my ISP, if I download a game through PSN my speed on any given good day is bottlenecked to between 10-20Mbps... If I'm lucky!

On the One X for example, I can download a game say from Game Pass and it sits between 89-93Mbps constant.

So to put it mildly, the bandwidth on the PS is shit!

Sadly I can second this, I have 500Mbps download speed and both PS4 and Xbox One X hooked up with ethernet. Downloads on the X are around 80-93Mbps as well; I'm guessing that's a limit? PS4 sticks me at around 15-25Mbps.

Hoping both consoles can utilize my net better this next generation either way

 

[Shubh_C63]

These poll results gives me joy. No joke.
