Following Microsoft’s Cortana and Amazon’s Alexa, Sony has filed a new patent for an AI-powered voice assistant called PlayStation Assist.
According to games industry analyst Daniel Ahmad, the assistant will work in-game, so you can ask a question – such as, say, where’s the nearest health pack, or help on where to head to next – and the assistant will mark its location on your in-game map.
Sony itself describes the feature as “a method for gaming assistance”.
