There’ll be constant notifications until you either leave, turn off all notifications (and miss everything else) or you just go and rant about it online ) Nothing more until next time.īut a party with dozens of people acting like the communities? Forget it. Join the voice chat for that party, everyone gets a notification, if they’re not up for it right now, that’s it. You probably want a permanent party with a couple of friends for a particular game. You think your phone is bad for that? Nothing compared to the new parties. The only problem is, the endless notifications. Want to play a game with someone? It’s quite easy to invite people to join you. Want to post a picture of a skellington? You can do that to the party. With no TSA community, the only option would be to set up a party and invite all you lovely people.

I can see why Sony have done it they way they have, with the changes on the PS4 and then the PS5 relying just on that new system. So everyone better behave until they shut them down, because any shenanigans are completely out of my control. Now I’ve got a PS5, and the PS4 is all unplugged ready to go to whichever of my numerous nieces and nephews wants it the most, I can’t access the community at all. It had many pictures of skellingtons, for some reason. When they added communities, I thought I’d be nice and set up the TSA one. There’s no direct replacement to the function that Communities offers at this time. The PS5 launch and the new PlayStation App that Sony created for iOS and Android saw the company refocus their social efforts with changes to the way that party chats work and friends and chats now grouped together in Game Base on the PS5 system software. Last March, the company removed the Communities app from iOS and Android stores seemingly due to a lack of regular active users, and the PS5 did not launch with Communities either. The writing has been on the wall for Communities since last year and this is not the first move Sony has made against the Communities feature.

It seems Sony has weighed up the benefits of keeping communities running and decided they just are not worth maintaining long term. Having debuted in 2015, there are thousands of communities in the PS4 ecosystem, with a mixture of official communities and fan-created groups, and varying levels of activity depending on the game. However, you will still be able to stay connected and enjoy messaging features and more on your PS4™ console and PlayStation®App.”
