PS5 Exercise Playing cards — one of the crucial extensively 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’ characteristic was quietly eliminated for good after years of lackluster assist. Now, the Exercise Playing cards themselves appear pointless.
What’s happening with PS5 Exercise Playing cards?
The PS5 Exercise Playing cards as soon as contained helpful info, like gamers’ completion share of an in-game mission or exercise, or the place gamers have been in a given sport the final time they shut it down. Now, quite a few 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 Ultimate Fantasy XVI, and have observed related complaints from Alan Wake II gamers. I’m additionally seeing playing cards for actions that I’ve already accomplished, with no helpful info. Loading these playing cards merely takes me to a sport’s title display, however that’s as a result of Sony removed the Resume Exercise characteristic altogether.
Then, there are video games with Exercise Playing cards which can be merely an inventory 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 displaying us info we have already got elsewhere.
The Exercise Playing cards at current serve no objective, and occupy treasured area on the PS5’s UI that could possibly be utilized for one thing extra helpful. I’m certain gamers wouldn’t thoughts in the event that they have been eliminated altogether in favor of much less muddle.
