PlayStationgamers now have the ability to rate games and view games' average scores on the PlayStation Store thanks to a new update. As the industry and consumers move towards digital distribution and away from physical discs, online storefronts like Sony’s are becoming a bigger part of the hobby for fans. Many PS4 and PS5 users buy their games exclusively from the store. Further, gamers regularly get other incentives, likeSony’s recent addition of new games to PS Plus Extra and Premium, to check out the store from time to time.

Unexpectedly, Sony appears to have added the ability to rate games to thePlayStationStore. The change was noted by journalists and users earlier this week and seems to have been implemented without an official announcement. The new system allows players who have purchased a game for the PS4 or PS5 to rate it on a scale of one to five stars. Further, anyone browsing in the store can see what the average rating of a game is at the current moment.
While brand new, the feature seems to already be getting lots of attention from players. Some popular games already have tens of thousands of ratings and these numbers keep going up. Any fans interested in what kind of score their favorite title is getting can simply head to its page in the PlayStation Store and see an average as well as a breakdown of how many people are giving it a given number of stars. Not surprisingly,fan favorites likeGod of War: Ragnarokare enjoying high scores at the moment, but there may still be some surprises to find on the store.
Interested fans should note that this feature only appears to be available while visiting the PlayStation Store from a console at this time. While gamers can access and view the store from a web browser, the ratings and the ability to add one’s own, only seem to pop up when on a PS4 or PS5. Still, this isn’t likely to be much of an inconvenience for most fans.
There are lots of games to look forward to in the coming months and even more excitinggames set to release in 2024. Now,PlayStationfans will have one more way to engage with all these titles and share their thoughts with the rest of the community
