PS5 is right around the corner and it is coming loaded with brand-new features since it features a new UI as well. One of the brand-new features coming to PS5 is its new Accolades system which is aimed at making yours and other’s online gaming systems better. With the help of this new system, the PS5 will allow you to find helpful players in your community and worldwide as well. This is just one of Sony’s new steps in order to ensure that players have a pleasant time while playing and interacting with other players online.
As part of the new Accolades system, players will be able to award their fellow PS5 players with different accolades that will help the system understand how good the player behaves while playing online with other players. To keep this system fair, friends will not be able to give each other these ratings and everyone will be able to give other players an accolade just once after their match. These accolades will be displayed on player profiles of each player.
As of now, there are three categories of these accolades:
- Helpful- Generous, effective communicator, team-oriented.
- Welcoming- Accepting of others, open, friendly.
- Good sport- Positive, honorable, respectful.
To improve your online ratings, it means that all you need to do is play nice and be friendly online and you will be ranking up accolades in no time. Having these accolades on your profiles will ensure that potential players will know in advance about your good gaming habits. Online gaming can be quite toxic at some points and this feature could be helpful for players in getting to know others in advance. Having these accolades will surely send a positive message across the board. This will be good for newcomers who are always a little afraid of getting to online gaming.
