PlayStation LifeStyle • • technology
Key Points:
- Sony has introduced a new social/community feature called the "Community Activity" widget to the PS5 via a May 2026 beta update, accessible through the Welcome Hub.
- The widget displays the most played games in a player's region, with options to view the "Top 10" games of the week and "Trending Now" games and modes gaining popularity.
- This feature is less comprehensive than the PS4's social tools, such as the ability to see friends' activities and the PS4 Communities feature, which some users miss.
- The Community Activity widget is currently in beta, and if Sony approves it, a full rollout could take several months.
