PS5 Exercise Playing cards — one of the vital broadly marketed options forward of the console’s launch — don’t appear to work anymore. Some time in the past, we reported that the ‘Resume Exercise’ function was quietly eliminated for good after years of lackluster assist. Now, the Exercise Playing cards themselves appear pointless.
What’s occurring with PS5 Exercise Playing cards?
The PS5 Exercise Playing cards as soon as contained helpful data, like gamers’ completion proportion of an in-game mission or exercise, or the place gamers have been in a given recreation the final time they shut it down. Now, quite a lot of video games have Exercise Playing cards caught at 0% progress no matter the place gamers are in a given exercise or mission.
I’m at present experiencing this with Remaining Fantasy XVI, and have observed comparable complaints from Alan Wake II gamers. I’m additionally seeing playing cards for actions that I’ve already accomplished, with no helpful data. Loading these playing cards merely takes me to a recreation’s title display screen, however that’s as a result of Sony removed the Resume Exercise function altogether.
Then, there are video games with Exercise Playing cards which can be merely a listing of trophies. I’m undecided what the purpose of that’s contemplating we now have quite a few methods to view our trophy progress. The very last thing we want are 10 tiles exhibiting us data we have already got elsewhere.
The Exercise Playing cards at current serve no goal, and occupy valuable area on the PS5’s UI that could possibly be utilized for one thing extra helpful. I’m positive gamers wouldn’t thoughts in the event that they have been eliminated altogether in favor of much less litter.
