PS3's PlayStation Home Has Never Felt More Alive in 2023

Ever since PS Home shut down back in 2015 on PlayStation 3, dedicated fans have been working towards restoring the original service. And thanks to the hardworking team at Destination Home, and all the cache donators, they released a closed beta late last year. And now, 8 years later -- they've launched a second beta that has let more people in, and it really does feel like Home again. Join me in exploring the new spaces, games, and cosmetics they restored. It's like 2008 all over again, financial crisis and all!

Destination Home’s Discord can be found here: discord.com/invite/PlayStationHome They’ll have links to the guides and everything needed if you want to jump back into Home on native PS3 hardware and RPCS3. And as always, if you have a console with Home already installed, don’t delete it! Donate your data so they can continue restoring parts of the service that might be lost.

@@SkippyJr_xBee Well nowadays, yes our internet is much faster and miles ahead compared to 2008 standards. Even then having 30x faster internet in the late 2000s would cost almost as close to $250.00 per month just to get to the same speed as what Wi-Fi and 5G does nowadays. Back then, we still used 3G and Broadband Internet as our way to be connected to the servers (Even phones still used 3G back in the day and 32GB SD Cards were around $40.00 to even buy. Heck, 250GB cards back in 2008 costed over $300.00 to even get one, now they only cost half of that). 4G around the time this game came out became a new thing into the market but it wasn't really adopted until the early 2010s. And then 5G didn't come out until 2017/2018 at least, and wasn't adopted fully until 2020/2021.

I've been getting increasingly depressed by the state of the world and all sorts of things I cared about getting taken away, or closed down, or discontinued....It makes me SO HAPPY to see Home again!! The fact that something I spent over 5 years on, everyday, creating so many memories, could be back and I could relive some of it again ..Man...I NEED this!!

PlayStation Home was another one of those bright, open, exciting glimpses into the future, that just died without that future arriving, and we’re essentially in the same place we were 15 years ago with slightly better game graphics and bigger phones.

[@jaeden2806]

So strange seeing the spaces man 😂 adored home so much. Great video man

[@plan7a]

The real beauty of Home was that the creators really wanted people to play and enjoy. There was no need to spend, but you could do if you wanted to; the cost was minimal and you could get a great experience just hanging out or chilling in ways that you couldn't in real life. When real life got you down you could usually go to your HOME space and simply wander around, take part in designing your own space and avatar; take photos and discover all sorts of content related to the games you played - and even those you didn't have to some extent by playing mini games within those worlds. They may have seemed like add-ons or reasons to make purchases to some, but the atmosphere was just one of discovery; for there was SO much you could do. And, with new content being added all the time (both free and paid for) it always was somewhere you could go and just drop in to spend some time away from the worries (and stresses) there were in your real life. It was always somewhere which was yours and pleasant to be at. Just saying!

[@jimmydx]

I remember attending virtually the E3 Sony booth, that was one of the best ideas that I experienced on Home.

[@UndeadFreak]

the amount of nostalgia is insane. i spent so much time on home. its a shame sony doesny give it honor and respect it was INCREDIBLE they could totally find a way to do it again ( or the community just makes it better this time?!) just worried if it gets too big the big dogs will start coming :/

[@silverian]

I remember earlier video about PlayStation Home. There are now much more to find. Huge respect for people who can resurrect old things back to life...

[@plan7a]

Collecting the orbs in Aurora was great to do - each one had a different attribute and the locations and types were changed daily. It was a great way to boost the points and rankings. Of course back then it was something you *wanted* to do - as were a lot of the other things in Home also. They were not things you HAD to do, but you found new things all the time and could just visit and chill on the side - or join in if you wanted to - there wasn't any obligation, of course. Incidentally, just wandering around and taking in the sights and sounds was good also. Some alone time in some of the places was always great too - as it was almost like being there and just watching and relaxing. (Not something you could necessarily do in real life; there were no hassles and I experienced nothing to worry or disturb, people would generally let you do what you wanted, which was really nice!). (The 'whoosh' you experienced was you being transported to another part of the island), which was great for finding the orbs and using their 'magic'. It was a fun find and discover game, you never knew if you'd be able to achieve the finding of them all or not). Sorry, long comment and probably nothing new learned; it's just some things were really awesome and brings back some great memories!

[@MrRED2523]

This is what the metaverse should aim to achieve! Great video Ryan!

[@JU1CE-]

Dude, No lie. This has brought so much nostalgic memories and a lot of depression to follow. Home to me wasn't much since I was a pre-teen around that time but even still, It was something that I have always appreciated growing up with it as the years came by. Understanding the whole concept of what was originally the metaverse turned into a game was beyond a perfect idea Sony once had. To be able to have a home you can create, visit worlds with minigames and other players roaming dedicated to a certain game/place/theme was just unheard of around that time especially with tv/movies and the reveal of many games really brought not only users together but Companies and even Sony itself closer to a player base like never before. Here's hoping there will be a new PS home for not only PS5 but for every console and crossplay as well. Imagine seeing the possibility of having all Nintendo, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players all connect to a platform like Home and all just bond over movies, games, trailers, etc while interacting with the theme worlds or the plaza. After a game of whatever, just hop to go bowling or minigolf? Sony really had something...

[@SuperFlashDriver]

Well unfortunately for companies nowadays they prefer live service and other ways to monetize content instead of doing Home that would last a lifetime but dry up the money quicker due to server costs. Sometimes it's just not worth it. But again, I do like to see it come back someday, even if it's more likely that they'll never do it after the failure of the metaverse Facebook tried to create.

[@damian9303]

I remember seeing the video years ago interviewing one of the original developers who joined the team reminiscing about the game being loaded onto his PS3 and how it helped to find his true sense of person and belonging. I kept it in the back of my mind and almost forgotten about it till this video came along so it’s been exciting watching the buildup compiled into this here video towards a playable launch.

@@JokerX350 true. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving my PS5 so far and having a blast with it. It just doesn't feel as social as PS4 was. Even compared with PS3, with the PS Home. PS5 really needs a major update centered on social features, I'm just not sure Sony wants it. The communities on PS4 were awesome. Sony could really build it from scratch now. It hurts because now, more than ever, it's so easy and fast on PS5 to just take pics, clips, edit them and sharing. I would love we could have a feed of these sharings for each player on their profiles, then a main feed on the PS menu like we had in PS4, then communities for each games or private communities that could be created among friends. Such a shame there isn't anything like these features on PS5, it's a severe downgrade from PS4.

I have a lot of fond memories of the years experiencing Home. Not playing, but truly experiencing it because it really was an experience. So, it's great to see it making a promising return. I joined the original Home's closed beta about a few months before it became open beta. So, sometime during the summer of 2008 iirc. I met a lot of psn friends from it. Hearing the bowling alley music again brought some old memories back. I remember trying to beat 16 levels of Ice Breaker (essentially a knock-off version of Breakout) in the arcades inside the alley for the ice breaker boots cosmetic and succeeding. Same with the echochrome outfit that came with the Echochrome game, 6:07 , which looked like a white lay figure. Both items sort of became "uniforms" for different groups - the Echochrome outfit in particular was often used by the Homeling alien avatar groups because it looked like pristine space suits and then the people that liked to find ways to clip out of bounds in Home's maps (glitchers) tended to like the ice breaker boots because of their perceived prestige of having to beat a challenge. With the Homelings in particular, part of the "initiation" into the group was taking the initiate into the bowling alley so that they can acquire their "space suit" from the Echochrome game and then taking them into a "mothership", which was really just a bland stark white home clubhouse, to tour it. Honestly, that was the fun part about home, that people found ways - no matter how ridiculous and silly - to make fun out of it even with its bare bone offerings during Home's beginning. Of course, being an online environment there was also bits of e-drama, between groups or individuals. However, the positive memories of that digital landscape outweigh the negatives. In all, they were good times.

WHat an amazing community of people. God bless them

This brings me back the memories

[@therunawaykid6523]

I still have some screenshots I took when home used to be a thing still remember that cool men in black area where you would have your own cool suit, tie and black shades 😎

[@matthewharris6113]

I have fond memories of Home, I was sad they never tried it again later on. All it needs is some love and I'm sure it would take off pretty well nowadays.

[@therunawaykid6523]

I agree

[@therunawaykid6523]

This is beautiful to see I was so sad when home closed

[@happyhuman5766]

Love your videos bro

I remember this, of all the game systems I’ve sold over the years my Original 20GB/upgraded to a 120GB PS 3 that was backwards compatible is the only one I regret selling.

[@davidstronach3261]

I got the PlayStation 3 very late into it's life cycle so unfortunately I never got to experience PlayStation Home this is awesome that they have a community that supports them like this great to see and I wish PlayStation brought it to the PS4 with them could've been an excellent way to promote PlayStation products

[@MuchWhittering]

Sounds like I need to get myself a 2nd PS3 to mod (since I'm terrified of modding my main PS3 and getting my PSN account banned). I hope this project can preserve not just the US Home too. There are plenty of Europe exclusive things I'd love to see brought back.

[@TopDogAnubis9047]

My ps3 is jailbroken and I got online with no problems

[@kingroosevelt2096]

I ordering a PS3 this month so I enjoy my adventures and my club will be on there.

[@piglover5474]

I’m pissed that this game is back because I made literally so many friends bro 😭 and so many memories the fact it’s back, I already donated my ps3 years ago such a pain, I can’t even get it back.

[@DoomRulz]

But does it include Folding@Home with the scrolling globe and that gorgeous music? I miss that too, man.

[@RedribbonVicky]

THE BOWLING ALLEY! my heart! Hours spent there just chatting in my Lighting outfit from FF13

[@tisssyyy]

Lot of nerds on home towards the end but I have mostly good memories on it… glad to see it back

[@NoName-vr3yd]

I can’t wait till everyone finds out about this and everyone starts playing again, I was ten when I first started playing psh now I’m twenty one , I know so many people were really young back then too now most people who were my age right now back then when they started home are in their 30s which is insane to think about , it doesn’t matter how old you are right now just get on and relive that fun nostalgia we all used to have when getting on after a long day of school or work.

[@cosmicgarden3210]

Thank you for bringing it back I swear when it closed I lost everything

[@EBGRECS]

Aaaah late nights dancing to the music played on my headphones with strangers was one of the most unique experiences ever

[@beautepley8352]

I'm gonna try and figure out how to get on there for the first time. What the hell. Why not? I wasn't gaming when this was out and I bought a ps3 a couple years ago for the first time and I love it. 3 generations of games on there. It's been a dream.

[@YoidRage]

bro this whole video brought back memories. pshome was great, surprised it failed.

[@zekashiifarmer]

i remember the coolest one was the red bull place and the location where you could build like a entire town

[@Tanzu15]

Yup being part of the beta testing is awesome!

[@ijnfrt]

I hope someone will make a private server for Killzone: Mercenary on the Vita

[@Macc-]
