Getting lost in search of hidden trophies or hints is a common experience for gamers. Sony is addressing this with a new feature for all PS5 users called “Community Game Help.” This feature automatically generates clips on your PS5 to aid developers in creating helpful hint videos.
Sabrina Meditz, Senior Director of Product Management for the PS5 platform experience, announced this opt-in service on the PS Blog. The service triggers the PS5 to create a clip of a supported game whenever you complete specific activities.
Meditz elaborates on what occurs after a player finishes an activity, stating:
“Then, it will be reviewed by a moderator, and if approved, your video will be published as a Game Help hint for PlayStation players to watch, learn from, and rate.”
The feature is also accessible through the PlayStation App for mobile, allowing you to access hints on your mobile devices. This usage on mobile saves space on your PlayStation game screen. Additionally, you will find “Community Game Help” alongside hints inside the app.

The upcoming Community Game Help feature will be opt-in, allowing players to join or leave the program at their convenience. It can be found under the Captures & Broadcasts option. To opt in, navigate to Captures > Auto Captures > Community Game Help. Once enabled, your PS5 will automatically capture clips after completing activities in supported games.
You can also set a limit on the number of game clips captured each month from the settings. Community Game Help hints will become available on PlayStation later this year, with promises of expanding support to more titles over time. It’s important to note that only game footage will be shared, ensuring that any other audio from the mic or headsets won’t be captured for added privacy.
The PS5 Community Game Help hints could be a fantastic feature. What are your thoughts? Do you think it will also be included in the rumored PS5 Pro? Share your opinions in the comments below.
