PSN Has a Cool Little Christmas Function You Could Have Missed

PSN has a nifty holiday-themed characteristic that you just in all probability missed. I do know I did. The “Easter egg” — as some gamers name it — covers gamers’ screens with snowflakes when typing particular messages to mates, however there’s a small catch.

Sony has been quietly bettering PSN messages characteristic

In the event you sort “Merry Christmas” to your folks through PlayStation messages on the PS App, you’ll see snowflakes throughout your cellular machine’s display for a couple of seconds. I randomly found this whereas messaging a pal this morning, and it seems, this chat characteristic has been round for not less than 4 years!

Apparently, gamers may set off the snowflakes by typing phrases like “Hanukkah” and even “snow,” and what’s extra, it really works when typing in a number of languages, not simply English.

The small catch that I speak about is that this characteristic is restricted to the PS App, which isn’t obtainable in numerous international locations. It’s not a dealbreaker and even an vital characteristic, however I do want I might set off the flurries on a much bigger display through messages on the PS5 console, particularly since we preserve getting system software program updates that do nothing aside from “enhance messages and value.”
