Overview
- Sony’s filing outlines an AI system called Ghost Player that users can activate to temporarily assume control, complete a section, and return play to the user.
- The document describes context-aware assistance that reads the game state and a player’s prior style to handle difficult battles, repetitive stretches, or stalled progress.
- Modes listed include story, combat, exploration, and full-game assistance, with options ranging from on-screen guidance to full autonomous completion of a challenge.
- Coverage highlights potential accessibility and learning benefits, with reports indicating the feature would be optional and oriented toward single-player scenarios.
- Reports note earlier showings tied to CES and 2024 WIPO filings and compare the concept to Microsoft’s Copilot, which offers in-game tips without taking control.
