Exploring PS5 Game Help on Rift Apart in Ratchet & Clank Demo Video
Proceeding the PlayStation 5 Gameplay Footage and recent PS5 Firmware v3.20 Update, in PS5Scene news today Sony shared a closer look at the PS5 Game Help feature with further details alongside a Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart PS5 Help Demo video below. 
For those seeking additional PlayStation 5 assistance, feel free to make use of our PS5 Help forum, and to quote from Sony Platforms Planning & Management Director Adil Sherwani:
At PS5’s launch, we introduced a brand new feature, Game Help, so players can quickly and easily get help during their gameplay – without accidentally running into spoilers they might find elsewhere.
The feature is supported in PS5 games like Astro’s Playroom, Maquette, Oddworld: Soulstorm, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart which just launched today, just to name a few.
Many of you may be curious about how the feature came to life, so we wanted to share some insights about this PlayStation Plus member benefit that’s available for supported games.
How Game Help got started
During PS5 development, our research found that the majority of players told us they seek out help for their games. Almost half get stuck in a game on a weekly basis, and more than half said they encounter spoilers when they seek out help for a game, or spend too much time searching for the tip they are looking for.
This feedback really resonated with us, so we went to work to create a feature for players that provides them with an easy way to get hints on the specific parts of the game they are playing, without spoilers or spending a lot of time searching for tips on the Internet.
We worked closely with game developers to create this feature, and also incorporated key feedback from our user testing research. It’s great to see this feature implemented in supported games, to quickly provide hints to...
