PS5 Interface Aims For Netflix-Like Speed

A new report at Resetera indicates that PlayStation is reportedly telling developers that the aim of game loading on the PS5 is to make it as quick and intuitive as if a user were picking something to watch on Netflix.

The report indicates Sony has been designing the PS5 to appeal to gamers looking to play in shorter bursts, not just those willing to put in multi-hour sit down sessions.

Sony reportedly pitched developers in a way that said “playing a PS5 game should be as easy as Netflix.” The aim is that players can load up a game immediately and know exactly how much time a given activity is going to take them, and switch between and continue games as easily as one switches between Netflix titles.

A recent PS5 patent also indicated that you’ll likely be able to quickly access different parts of a game.
