[@Official9TIMES]

PlayStation home Was great it’s just sad it was a 75% - 35% partnership and and Sony truly had no real control

[@JohnDeLaughs]

Home was way ahead of its time. It's so sad we didn't even realize what we had until we lost it.

[@ruok-l5t]

It was Metaverse before the metaverse

[@trashyspeeds266]

Yeah but, it had 150 million players. Why would they off something with that large of a player base? (Think it was 1 million plus active players at any given time)

[@themenacemastermind5358]

same goes for little big planet karting & 1 and 2 and sadly now 3.... literally miss them man.

[@scottl.1568]

Exactly...

[@jigzyonline]

​@@trashyspeeds266because a lot of those players didn't spend any money.

[@djphat94]

Sony needs to take notice just how much everyone loved home and bring it back

[@mellowillow]

Right!

[@alenmack3471]

Sony hates their fans. The best alternative is Tower Unite.

[@CHRISTALGIA]

@@Soggywafflecakesno

[@blind6745]

@@alenmack3471 yeah also i've played tower unite it doesn't feel like a hub game more like just a minigame simulator

[@thebigXgaming]

When are yall gonna realize that they don't care about what we want, they only care about giving us what they want, and what they want is for everyone to be miserable and dumbed down, they don't care about entertaining their players anymore, those days ended with the playstation 2, it seems like all these billion dollar AAA tech companies care about now is just brainwashing their players into believing and living whatever narrative that is trending within society.... games aren't enjoyable anymore they are just money pots we gotta keep dumping our hard earned money into to make the games interesting....

[@5lim.0]

Shout out to the Devs and the fans who donated their data to make this possible

[@SplicerYT]

PSHome had such wholesome vibes from its music, atmosphere to visual style.

[@thebigXgaming]

Exactly! Why else do you think they removed it?

[@Official9TIMES]

[@thaistomp]

@@thebigXgaming Yup, it was too high vibrational. Had to get rid of it.

[@thebigXgaming]

@@thaistomp bingo you got it

[@danzoEX]

People don’t realize PS Home was ahead of it’s time… it was literally an early taste of what the Metaverse could be like

[@cherrydragon3120]

But way better even back then

[@raptorgator]

The Metaverse we wanted

[@thaistomp]

Better than "Metaverse." Lol.

[@ikki133]

Crazy to find a First Soldier in this section

[@danzoEX]

@@ikki133 you know my name? :0 I did indeed play First Soldier! Haha

[@forte718]

[@cherrydragon3120]

That wud have been amazing :(

[@nivedlahash2699]

Omfg it would be so lit !

[@RAYGUN-1]

So true

[@edgriswold8736]

2 of my friends who loved Home may not have felt too isolated and would still be here? Phone≠Home. Sony didn't just kill PSH. :(

[@antjones2281]

This makes so much sense with PSVR 2 . The concept was way ahead of its time.

[@Soraviel]

Agreed

[@SuperDimson]

Second life launched in 2003

[@Xemnas283]

Yeah how do they not have a vr hub yet

[@antjones2281]

@@Xemnas283 I'm sure some users are already visiting a "hub" in their VR headsets ....hehe

[@DK19998]

Idk about “ahead of it’s time”

[@BloodDjimon614]

Playstion Home was the best thing Sony ever did.

[@thebigXgaming]

So why remove something that everyone clearly enjoyed and loved to play?

[@DHP_]

​​​​@@thebigXgamingI hear a rumor about it. (I'm sorry I'm not native speaker) but Supposedly it was because most of the gains went to in-game content creators business like nDreams etc... and the whole platform or so much of pshome were made by them, so sony decided to closed it Instead create or change the whole platform with sony original content only

[@thaistomp]

@@DHP_ Greed is the downfall of all great things.

[@ShrineMedium]

Sony should make a ps5 PSHome, it would be a social space for all PS5 games

[@23kently]

Billion dollar idea

[@chiarosuburekeni9325]

Didn’t they shut it down because it wasn’t profitable? What makes you think a newer version would make money?

[@NewMateo]

Would also make way more sense when you factor in psvr 2 as well.

[@gold-818]

Think about it with the computing power of modern hardware of today. SSD's gigabit connections and so on.

[@chiarosuburekeni9325]

@@gold-818 again, why would sony devote time and resources to that when the first one didn’t make them any money?

[@KOTF3005]

Genuinely spent more time on home than any games with my PS3 back a day

[@beachysmeachy_]

facts

[@jakedude09534]

sameee

Same! Why else do you think they removed it?

[@godkvng]

Bro it’s 2024 we need PlayStation home back please im begging on my knees

[@thaistomp]

For real.

[@josetobias5716]

It felt nice to explore and just hang out on this back on the ps3...i missed it

You are all amazing for working on this! 🫶🏾☺️

[@IGN]

Thank YOU for doing something that gives me an interesting story to tell! - Dale

[@cherrydragon3120]

You guys doing amazing work :) keep it up

[@Rozriku]

How do we support?

[@Luukfox]

Nothing can beat psnhome it was the future really

[@Tennindo]

Oh man the memories

[@bniy]

Home had really great first party content, that and it being run by Sony really boosted some of the quality of content, over UGC content. The developers that really stuck their neck out and provided content for Home made Home a great experience that separates it from other experiences like VRChat and Second Life.

[@KIPPZY]

PS Home would’ve been perfect during the COVID period since everyone was locked in at home. The amount of money SONY could’ve made off of a PS5 Home experience.. Missed opportunity man.

[@Goatsuniversity]

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@MrLinkyPlays]

This brings back memories, it was a nice hub to find news on games and also playing games like that racing one on a moon, minigames like bowling and also customizing your room and person. Great times indeed

[@brandonJohnU]

This feature was so ahead of its time!! So fun and interesting!!

[@terrencehicks322]

From one of the members that worked on it' the give me so much joy to see.

[@aherbez]

Terrence! Yeah man, same here. It really is amazing seeing that Home still means so much to people.

[@schizofreak5457]

You have no idea how many people want home back 😭😭😭 5:11

[@cngamemaker]

PlayStation home made it easier to make friends so bring it back would be amazing

[@Demon-.]

Home was pretty cool and it'd be awesome if they brought it back

[@4creilly128]

Thanks nagato and everyone who helped me go back home

[@msvelvetcrowe]

This was my Life...... PS Home Is Life!

[@BadHombre1]

This unironically shits all over metaverse

[@iBMcFly]

The fact that this isn’t a thing anymore is a travesty.

[@NegronJamesss]

cant believe we got to play this for free ps3 in general was too advance even had a web browser that we now dont have.

[@gagank478]

this is amazing

[@BluntSmoke4200]

They need to bring this Back, Mannn It's Been So Long Since I've Seen The Home 🗣️💯

[@lesliewit]

This type of thing is kind of inevitable. We have had several incarnations of online social spaces with functioning avatars.

[@raptorgator]

None of them have soul like Home did

[@thaistomp]

@@raptorgator Yeah there was a special energy that Home had. So epic.

[@HeyyItsNick]

A Metaverse before modern “Metaverses”

[@lilshake6414]

Sony made the metaverse way before the word even existed

[@theroyaltigerz9726]

Didn't realise what we until it was gone what amazing time and people we met on there😢

[@Duncanrobles-u4t]

Playstation home was so great and beautiful way to have fun and meet people

[@WaffleCone927]

Its amazing how they built this up from almost nothing, revived it and now expand it. Can Sony shut this down?

[@5lim.0]

Since it’s a non profit thing it’s legally a gray area. Openly admitting to reverse engineering the code, even for a defunct service/product, could open them to cease and desist orders tho

[@Unlucky_Freak]

In a way, PS HOME was the only closest thing to having Sims Online 😅

[@chancebymidnight2737]

They should bring that back for the psvr2 it was perfect

[@yaesar]

PlayStation needs to release PlayStation Home 2.0 with optional PSVR2 functionality. Exactly like what VR CHAT is doing right now on PC. It's the perfect selling point for their virtual reality tech. Come on Sony!

[@PulseJunkie]

I use to be an OG beta tester and I truly miss it, from start to end I loved it… They could do so much more with it these days but keep it original!

[@tylerdagreat5438]

Playstation home and life with PlayStation…top tier! Bring it back PLEASE!

they just had a one year anniversary and its still fun

Please bring this back for ps4 and ps5

[@DjBoggLEMaN]

How do you donate your save file from PS Home?

[@bradwhite5884]

Shutting PS Home and not porting over to the PS4 was a mistake from Sony along with other mistakes they've made like ditching the Vita along with all their other features and such, imagine PS Home on the PS4 and PS5 as well as a graphically improved version of it and a VR version too, missed opportunity on Sony tbh, along with many missed opportunities and such from them tbh

[@Ryxtek]

Sony, come on -- This is something that needs to be remade for PS5 and modern hardware! Make it happen!

[@plasma070]

One of my favorite spaces in PS Home was the Xi Museum. There were two text based games that were my first introduction to that kind of game media. I'd love a chance to play those again.

[@firstnamelastname492]

You sound really dumb.

[@edgriswold8736]

PSHome was eaten by a grue. :(

[@LocustaVampa]

I miss PS Home. I had a great character with many outfits and goofy abilities. All the games and areas you could inhabit, decorate and chat in where creative and fun. Nothing like it exists in PS4 or PS5. I was very sad when it shut down so suddenly.

[@WrathChild-NZ]

If they remade this with VR they could make so much money

[@KevLP]

ModNation Racers is also being restored atm btw

[@jordanperks1991]

There's no place like HOME. Miss it

[@PSG51]

Its ALIVE!

[@Aykun_]

Take note Sony.

[@TTKChrisking]

I'd buy a PSVR2 immediately if they announce a release date for a PS Home PS5 version

[@6420digits]

this was what the metaverse wants to be so bad

[@TylerMcNamer]

Playstation HOME is for everyone. Not just for people in a certain generation that grew up with the Playstation 3.

[@UnderTheLuxury]

Oh yeah.... its all coming together now~☆

[@Serapha6]

It reminded me of imvu with a little bit less clothing from the real world, but Home was lit

[@unlimited-6183]

Now we will have to rely on the 'Tekken 8" online social space on the PlayStation 5, to have a similar PlayStation Home experience on the PlayStation next-gen console 😊

[@cdmanjak]

[@raptorgator]

Home brings back some great memories

[@mirandacole6495]

Can you imagine the space for FF7 Remake? The gold saucer games, seventh heaven bar, sooo much potential there...with the return of EA sports college football you could have nike track outfits of your team (or adidas or UA) merchandise for your apartment...a lot of money being left on the table here
