Sony does it...

Summary

The video covers three PlayStation-related developments:

• RetroAchievements comes to original PS2 hardware: A new PC app can connect to a real PS2 and display achievement notifications as players unlock them. Achievements sync to the cloud, allowing progress and profiles to carry across supported devices. The host says setup takes several steps, but guides are available online. He highlights the appeal of earning achievements on original hardware and continuing on devices such as a Steam Deck or laptop.

• PlayStation Network account security concerns: The host discusses reports of accounts being taken over after attackers gathered publicly available details—such as an email address, birthday, or game-purchase information—and used them to persuade PlayStation support to reset account access. He cites the cases of Colin and RealRaddit, and argues that Sony needs stronger account-recovery safeguards, especially as more games and services depend on PSN. He also criticizes PSN’s reliability and the risks of relying on digital access.

• A PlayStation app update: The app is being updated to show games friends are currently playing near the top of the interface. Users can select a game to view its store page, watch a trailer, or potentially join friends. The host sees this as a useful way to discover games, though he is wary of features primarily serving as promotion.
