“Welcome to the Club Finally”: Fans React to the New Rating System in the PlayStation Store

Recently Sony introduced a five-star rating system on product pages within the PlayStation Store. This allows users to rate PS5 and PS4 games. This feature is finally making a comeback after it was removed upon the release of the PlayStation 5. While this feature is not groundbreaking by any means, many fans are excited to see this function return to the PlayStation.

The introduction of this rating system allows gamers to rate the game once they have purchased it. This helps other players know what to expect if they were to buy the game. After a while of its absence on the PS5, the feature was finally reintroduced to the console. This news made Sony fans really happy. However, some Xbox fans were not impressed.

Playstation finally announced the Rating system for the PlayStation Store

Recently a Twitter user by the name GermanStrands posted an image unveiling PS5’s rating system. In the image, they showcased how the purchase page of certain games looks on the store. Below the name of the game, players can find out how the game is rated.

The store pages for 4 games were showcased in the Twitter post along with their ratings. The first game was Final Fantasy 16. The game received 4.51 stars from about 2,700 players.

The highly acclaimed Marvel’s Spider-Man was rated at 4.69 by 182,000 people. Resident Evil 4 was rated by 24,000 people and it received a rating of 4.73 stars. The final game in the post was Baldur’s Gate 3, which received a staggering 4.9 rating from 4,200 players.

Only players who purchase the game from the PlayStation Store will be able to rate these games. Sadly players who have purchased a physical copy of the games will not be able to rate the games. Although this feature was present for players on the PS4, PS5 players are extremely excited about the new feature.

Fans’ take on the new PlayStation rating system

While players can now rate a game using the 5-star rating system. One user pointed out how the option to review the game would be nice. They also mentioned how they would like to see more community-based features like the PC games store Steam has.

An Xbox fan made a hilarious comment by showing how Xbox already has this feature and welcomed PlayStation fans to join the club.

One user shared their excitement about the new feature and mentioned how they are about to rate every game they own.

As the new feature was announced, some doubts started to arise. One player asked, “Are physical games included or just digital?” bringing up the question that is in their mind.

One user was happy that the feature made a return. They also expressed their wonder as to why the feature was taken away in the first place.

Sony’s reintroduction of the five-star rating system to the PlayStation Store received mixed reactions among the gaming community. While it is not as reliable as going through reviews, this is a start from Sony. As game time comes players might even get to see the review feature implemented. Although most PlayStation users are excited about the new feature, some seem disappointed that digital copy owners don’t get to rate it. Nonetheless, for many PlayStation enthusiasts, the return of this feature marks a positive development in their gaming experience. Does it do the same for you? Let us know in the comments below.
