PS5: Sony patent would enable game nights in the cinema
What does Sony’s concept look like? Normally, local gaming sessions are limited to four game ends in front of the console. If you want to play with more people, you have to rely on online gaming. Sony patented itself now but one concept, where dozens of gamers can gamble with or against each other. The highlight: the whole thing would not take place on a small flat screen, but on the big screen of a cinema.

In this case, each player would get a controller assigned to their own seat. But then no classic PS5 games like that would be played on the cinema screen God of War or multiplayer hits like Fortnite, but games specially adapted to the special experience. According to the patent, even the implementation of AR mechanics in the gameplay would be conceivable.
A similar concept can already be found in some German cinemas in a simpler form. Visitors can use their smartphones and a code to dial into small video games in order to bridge the waiting time until the trailers appear and gamble on the big screen. However, Sony is likely to have more complex gaming experiences in mind with its patent.

For example, large-scale gaming nights in the cinema organized by Sony seem possible thanks to the patent. Certainly a dream for many gamers. However, Sony has not yet presented any concrete plans for the implementation of the patent. So it’s entirely possible that the interesting idea could just fizzle out like so many patents do.
