In the world of gaming, patents often reflect potential ideas that companies are considering, but don't always receive a positive reaction from players and are eventually abandoned. But sometimes, patents also bring to light some ideas that are genuinely interesting - such as the new patent filed by Sony.

Here's What We Know

This patent describes a method of real-time game assistance that would allow players to seek advice from "experts" if they get stuck in a game. According to the patent description, if a player needs help, this method will connect them to "experts" who will help them move forward. And if experts are not available, videos from the game will be shown.

The main idea is to provide a better integration of searching for guides and explanations during the game, without having to leave the game to find them. Sony has already implemented similar ideas, such as the Game Help mechanic for PlayStation 5, so it would be interesting to see a more advanced version of this feature.

Of course, as always with patents, this doesn't mean that Sony will necessarily implement these new features in the future - it could have filed a patent "just in case" to legally protect this idea in the future.
