Will PlayStation 5 have its own virtual assistant?

Although there is very little missing from the release of PlayStation 5, scheduled during Christmas holidays of 2020, at the moment there is very little news on the new Sony console, given that the same company has preferred to disclose the information to the public moderately. But this has not prevented several people in the sector from stealing various indiscretions directly from the United States patent office, in order to find a minimum of news on the news that will be present on the new PlayStation 5, such as a possible virtual assistant.

The patent USA 20200139245 describes a "game information platform“, Useful not only to provide tips and tricks for certain sections of the game, particularly difficult, but it could also be able to tell the user how long the various chapters of the game might take. As can be seen from the image, which you can conveniently find at the bottom of the article, shows a TV connected to the PS4, asking the player if he intends to continue the level for another 45 minutes or if he wants to switch to another game, with times of potential completion shorter.

But that's not all, given that the new feature would be able to "estimate" the complete time of a certain title also based on the equipment worn and the strategy adopted. Although the patent speaks exclusively of in-game applications, it would seem that this idea could "extend" to a Comprehensive virtual assistant, along the lines of Alexa o Crab. It is currently unclear whether Sony really plans to roll this spec over to the next one PlayStation 5, but surely we will know more in the month of June, a period in which, according to the statements of Jason Schreier, the Japanese company could officially show the new console.
