Sony’s recent patent for an AI-driven ‘Ghost Player’ technology could revolutionize how gamers interact with their favorite titles. This innovative system allows players to summon an AI-generated version of their character to either demonstrate solutions for challenging puzzles or complete sections of the game entirely, offering a unique blend of assistance and immersion. Imagine being stuck on a tricky puzzle in an Uncharted game and calling forth an AI-controlled Nathan Drake to show you the way.

The recent tech demo for The Witcher 4 has set the gaming community abuzz, showcasing the potential of Unreal Engine 5 on a standard PlayStation 5, running at an impressive 60 FPS with ray tracing enabled. While CD Projekt Red clarified that this was not actual gameplay but rather a technological showcase, it provides a tantalizing glimpse into the capabilities of next-gen gaming technology. The demo highlighted advanced features like Nanite Foliage and Smart Objects, pushing the boundaries of open-world design and animation.
