Over three-quarters of PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 sales during the last quarter were made via the PlayStation Store, highlighting the significant role that this online marketplace plays in Sony’s overall strategy.
There’s still quite a distance for it to cover before it can match the top-tier digital stores, such as the industry leader, Steam.
In a recent blog post on their SIE platform, the company has taken a moment to look back at some of the features they’ve introduced over the past years, such as ratings, Apple Pay, passkeys, and accessibility tags. However, when you consider all the features and functions that are still noticeably absent, it creates quite a lackluster impression.
The positive update is that Sony has assured continued development and enhancement of the user experience, with potential future advancements also on the horizon as they work on additional improvements.
“We have several ideas for enhancements we’d prefer to implement: unfortunately, the current wishlist is not compatible with PS5, and ideally, we’d like to offer a filtering option by software on sale, similar to what’s available on Switch 2.”
This version tries to maintain the original meaning while using more natural and conversational language. It also addresses some of the specific concerns you had in the original sentence (e.g., making it clear that improvements are desired, not just pointing out problems).
To enhance the user experience on our web store, we’re aiming to make it more multimedia-focused, similar to Steam. Currently, it lacks features such as screenshots and trailers, which we believe should not be overlooked.
Additionally, we’ve been encountering UI problems for quite some time now, one of which being that when a game on your wishlist comes with a PS Plus demo, you’re unable to check if it’s currently on sale.
Managing a platform as vast as the PlayStation Store undeniably presents challenges, yet given Sony’s substantial earnings from it, one might expect swifter updates. At times, it appears less reliable and if you’re unfamiliar with its peculiarities, it lacks user-friendliness altogether.
In simpler terms, “Sony, given your latest quarter’s earnings exceeded $1 billion in profits, consider investing part of it to enhance the user experience on the PlayStation Store, making it easier for us to spend more with you.
