A bizarrely removed PS Store feature has finally returned to the Sony storefront’s web version, making browsing a little less cumbersome. For some reason, Sony removed the ability to view game images on its web store, forcing users to look up games that they weren’t familiar with elsewhere.
Game images feature returns to PS Store web version, but no trailers
The PS Store still has a long way to go to match the likes of Steam and Xbox, and we still don’t have the ability to view trailers on PS Store web, but we’ll take small victories for now.
Strangely enough, videos and trailers are available on the console store and PS App, so we’re not quite sure what Sony’s reason is for removing the feature from the web store.
What’s particularly odd is that game screenshots were always available on PS Store web’s backend. They did turn up in Google image searches, and tech-savvy folks could scrape them from the store’s backend, so it beggars belief that it took Sony years just to enable viewing them normally.
Here’s hoping we get game trailers next, as well as a permanent solution for all the shovelware clogging the PS Store. For its part, Sony has been cracking down on scam developers, but has failed to nip the problem in the bud.
