The various initiatives related to Metaverse attract a lot of attention, but there are those who miss a similar effort that saw the light in the PS3 and what was known as PlayStation Home.
This virtual space had good ideas behind it, but some believe that Sony he did not take full advantage of it. In 2015, with the closure of its servers, it ceased to exist. It seems to be the final point in this regard. However, there is a possibility that it will return.
PlayStation Home closed in 2015
Not only by means of a registered trademark not long ago Sony but on the part of a group of fans that maintains a non-profit project. This is by name Destination Home And he’s been trying for years to bring this digital world back to life.
For that they use an offline version that is available for download; can be played through PS3 modified or emulators. They recently started collaborating with another group.
Is about PlayStation Online Network Emulated (PSONE), which is also fan-driven. Thanks to your help it is now possible to run this version of PS Home online again.
If all goes as smoothly as possible, access to public and private rooms should be activated by the end of this year. The video that accompanies this note is a teaser how it will look Destination Home when it is working. This effort is not bad at all.
Fans work on a new version
From what can be seen in the preview, the minigames are back, as well as the possibility of creating virtual parties and that the user can decorate their own space.
Something that the creators of the project want to make clear is that they do not accept monetary donations, but they do ‘from cache’. What do you mean exactly? Well to information from PlayStation Home that remains stored in consoles of that time and that is quite useful.
That is how Destination Home you can learn how it worked PS Home. It is through similar donations that he was able to recover the Spaces, as well as various types of furniture and clothing for the avatars.
So they can restore the content for educational and preservation purposes. We will see how far this attempt to revive this virtual initiative goes. The fact that there is no profit motive at least makes it safe from any attempted lawsuit.
