The PlayStation 5 launched without game folders, a feature found on PlayStation 4 and one that was used by a great many people. The reason for the lack of folders has now been revealed by a former Sony manager. Steven Trombetta took to Twitter to explain why the feature was missing, and it’s a very good reason.
Replying to a rather entitled headline from Kotaku, he wrote “We built this console in the middle of a global pandemic without requiring crunch from anyone. Some things had to go to make that a reality. It’d be nice if you weren’t rude about it. Employee health was the priority and I’m glad it was.”
Sony rolled out folders for PS5 just a few days as part of a firmware upgrade, but chose to call the feature “Gamelists”.
- Gamelists
- In your Game Library you can now create gamelists, which make organizing your games even easier.
- To start, go to the [Your Collection] tab and select [Create Gamelist]. Choose games to add to your gamelist, then decide what to name it.
- You can have up to 15 gamelists and 100 games per gamelist. All games under the “Your Collection” tab of your Game Library can be added to a gamelist, including disc, digital and streaming titles.*** You can also add the same game to multiple gamelists.
The firmware update also included new social features, easier access to In-progress Activities and 1440p HDMI video output, assuming you have a television or monitor than can support that output.
