The PS5's new Game Help feature is a nifty addition that gives you real-time hints and tips as you play, and it's supported in these next-gen games.
Game Help is part of the PS5's new functionally-layered UI and aims to replace walkthroughs.
As you play a PS5 game, you can summon on-screen tips and tricks by pressing the PS Button and selecting an on-screen pane. Game Help gives you a screenshot, a full video, and written info to guide you across specific challenges like levels, bosses, and more.
Once the tip is displayed, you can pin it to your screen just like the Xbox One's original Snap Mode feature. The section will stay pinned even if you go the home menu. That way you can watch the hint as you're playing. This is an innovative new way to engage players and help create a more friendly ecosystem based around progress.
Right now there's not a whole lot of games that support the feature. Then again, there really isn't a lot of PS5 games on the market either.
The following PS5 titles support Game Help:
- Spider-Man Miles Morales
- Demon's Souls
- Bugsnax
- Sackboy: A Big Adventure
- Astro's Playroom
- Man Eater
There's some exclusions with Game Help. It's only available for PS Plus subscribers, and it's only for PS5 games. PS4 games won't get on-screen tips.
