Sony Quietly Removes Shovelware Games from PlayStation Store on PS5 - Gaming NewsSony Quietly Remove

Sony Quietly Removes Shovelware Games from PlayStation Store on PS5 Listen to this article 0:00 By Terry Oh February 10, 2025 Key points Following an investigation, Sony removed low-quality games from their PS5 store. The eliminated games were low quality, cheap, and repetitive in game design.  Nintendo has yet to publicly respond to similar allegations regarding their eShop. Following an investigation from IGN, Sony quietly axed numerous titles from their Playstation 5 store. The removed games consisted of low-quality, AI-generated, and asset-recycled titles, commonly referred to as shovelware. The investigation started after Kotaku and Aftermath detailed a problem plaguing both the Playstation 5 store and the Nintendo Eshop. These online shops are “advertising more and more and more games that are using a combination of generative AI and misleading store pages to trick users into purchasing cheap, low-quality games that aren’t what they claim to be,” Rebekah Valentine said at IGN.Sony seemingly responded to the news by taking down some of the bloat from their storefront. Most games from RandomSpin – a studio that allegedly abuses AI and recycles assets, vanished from the PS5 store.  As of February 10, Nintendo has yet to publicly respond to the concerns raised by the gaming community.   The investigation was not aimed at legitimate indie studios producing low-budget games but rather at the increasing number of AI-generated titles flooding digital storefronts. These games, often misleading and low in quality, have multiplied rapidly, cluttering platforms like the PlayStation Store and Nintendo eShop. “With the store filtered to show new and recently released stuff, I could look at what had been dumped into the store without any filters or algorithms getting in the way. And doing this is like opening up a raw sewage line,” Kotaku stated in regards to navigating the Nintendo Eshop.  Sony’s swift actions in removing the shovelware from the Playstation store marks a significant step towards curating a higher-quality digital storefront – but the larger issue of AI-generated, misleading, and low-effort games remains a prevalent concern across various platforms.  By Terry Oh February 10, 2025 Previous article Sega Marks 20 Years of Like a Dragon with Fan-Voted Merch, Including a Traffic Cone and Golden Underwear Related articles PC Sega Marks 20 Years of Like a Dragon with Fan-Voted Merch, Including a Traffic Cone and Golden Underwear By Igor Belkin 2 hours ago 3 min Playstation Monster Hunter Wilds Beta to Get 24 Hour Extension After PSN Outage By Igor Belkin 9 February, 25 2 min Playstation PlayStation Network Restored After 24-Hour Global Outage By Igor Belkin 8 February, 25 2 min PC Warhorse Studios Unveils Twitch Drops for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 By Igor Belkin 8 February, 25 3 min
