Sony Is Killing the PlayStation Communities Feature

By
Ste Knight

PS4 owners will no longer be able use of the Communities function, paving the way for Messages and the PS App.

If you are currently using the «Communities» feature on your PS4, then we have bad news for you; Sony has confirmed it will end the service soon.

Sadly, as confirmed in a PlayStation.com notice, Sony is shelving the «Communities» feature of its PlayStation ecosystem as of April 2021. The notice reads:

Thank you for using the PS Communities feature on your PS4 console. Beginning in April 2021, this feature will no longer be supported or available on your PS4 console.

So, not much of an explanation, really. Although some might say they saw this coming.

Sony closed support for its PlayStation Communities mobile app in March 2020. You can see this via the above linked page. So this probably doesn’t come as a surprise to people who previously used the Communities app.

Why Sony has done this remains a mystery. The above notice continues:

However, you’ll still be able to stay connected and enjoy messaging features and more on your PS4 and the PlayStation App.

So, obviously Sony wants you to make more use of the Messenger function that is available across devices, both natively on the console and on the PlayStation mobile app.

Sony has the answer to that on the PS4 User Guide’s About Communities page. It says:

Communities are places where you can find players who have similar interests and preferences. You can play games or have parties with other Community members, or talk about your shared interests within that Community.

So, if you wanted to party up with people who play the same title as you, you can. Well, until April, anyway. This service is only available on PS4; PS5 users will never have seen it on their console.

If you want to grab a last bit of PlayStation Communities action before the service retires, then it is still possible. If you struggle to find other players for certain games, this might help you party up.

There probably isn’t much point in creating your own PlayStation Community, as it will only last a short time. However, PS4 users can still access Communities.

  1. Select Communtites from the Function screen.
  2. Search for or select a community you want to join.
  3. Click Join Community

You will now be a member of that community and can chat and play with other members until April 2021, when Sony shelves the app.

If so, you’re probably going to miss the feature. While Sony shelved the dedicated app for Communities, it still seems a little odd that it would close the service down entirely. This is a great way to meet strangers who are like-minded players of the same titles.

Unless Sony expands the PlayStation messages function so you can link up and party chat with strangers from inside the service, how are gamers otherwise going to build a community around the games that they play?

Rural Communities Opioid Response Program-Psychostimulant Support

The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) is a multi-year initiative by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) aimed at reducing the morbidity and mortality of substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD), in high risk rural communities. This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under RCORP-Psychostimulant Support (RCORP-PS). RCORP-PS will advance RCORP’s overall goal by strengthening and expanding prevention, treatment, and recovery services for rural individuals who misuse psychostimulants to enhance their ability to access treatment and move towards recovery.
Over the course of a three-year period of performance, RCORP-PS award recipients will implement a set of core psychostimulant use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery activities, as outlined in Section IV.2. For the purposes of this funding opportunity, psychostimulants include methamphetamine and other illegal drugs, such as cocaine and ecstasy, as well as prescription stimulants for conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or depression.1 Applicants should detail in the «Project Abstract» and “Needs Assessment” sections of the Project Narrative which psychostimulants they propose to target with the funding.
Given the complex and multifaceted nature of psychostimulant use disorders, as well as the need to secure community buy-in, HRSA requires that applicants be part of broad, multi-sectoral consortia consisting of four or more separately-owned (i.e., different Employment Identification Numbers (EINs)) entities, including the applicant organization. 2 A majority, or at least 50 percent, of separately owned consortium members must be physically located in HRSA-designated rural areas, as defined by the Rural Health Grants Eligibility Analyzer.
The target population for this award are 1) individuals who are at risk for, have been diagnosed with, and/or are in treatment and/or recovery for psychostimulant use disorders; 2) their families and/or caregivers; and 3) other community members3 who reside in HRSA-designated rural areas.
Applicants are encouraged to include populations that have historically suffered from poorer health outcomes, health disparities, and other inequities, as compared to the rest of the target population, when addressing SUD in the proposed service area. For example, a recent study found that more rural racial/ethnic minorities reported their health as fair or poor, that they were unable to see a physician in the past 12 months because of cost, and that they did not have a personal health care
provider compared to their non-Hispanic white counterparts. 4 Examples of these populations include, but are not limited to, racial and ethnic minorities, people/persons experiencing homelessness, pregnant women, youth and adolescents, etc.
The primary focus of this award is psychostimulant misuse and use disorders. However, recognizing that many individuals who misuse psychostimulants are polysubstance users, or have other co-occurring conditions, consortia may also use RCORP-PS funding to help address other SUD-related needs of the target population of individuals, families, and other community members affected by psychostimulant use disorders. Applicants should link any additional activities they propose to the needs of their target population and service area. Please note that no competitive advantage, funding priority, or preference is associated with proposing activities beyond the core/required activities outlined in Section IV.2.
Finally, RCORP-PS award recipients are expected to work closely with a HRSA-funded technical assistance (TA) provider throughout the three-year period of performance. Targeted TA will be provided to each award recipient at no additional cost, and is intended to help recipients achieve desired project outcomes, sustain services, align their performance reporting/evaluative activities, implement quality improvement efforts, and overcome challenges to project implementation. HRSA will provide more information about TA support upon receipt of award.

Eligible applicants include all domestic public or private, non-profit or for-profit entities, including faith-based and community-based organizations, and federally-recognized tribes and tribal organizations. In addition to the 50 U.S. states, only organizations in the District of Columbia, Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Federated State of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau may apply. If you are located outside the 50 states, you must still meet the eligibility requirements.
The applicant organization may be located in an urban or rural area and should have the staffing and infrastructure necessary to oversee program activities, serve as the fiscal agent for the award, and ensure that local control for the award is vested in the targeted rural communities.
All activities supported by RCORP-PS (i.e., all service delivery sites) must exclusively occur in HRSA-designated rural counties or rural census tracts in urban counties, as defined by the Rural Health Grants Eligibility Analyzer

The 90,000 Horizon Forbidden West leak on PS Plus has outraged the PlayStation community. Players do not understand why buy new

at all

Sony decided to add the recent Horizon Forbidden West to the PlayStation Plus catalog, which caused some dissatisfaction in the community. Someone is thinking of giving up buying games

Sony has confirmed a recent leak that Horizon Forbidden West will be added to the expanded PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium catalog.

This will allow PlayStation Plus subscribers to experience the game, but there is a caveat. Horizon Forbidden West was released in February 2022, i.e. recently. For some, the addition of the game was a cause for outrage.

Users began to wonder why they should buy new items at all if they appear in the PlayStation Plus subscription catalog so quickly. Someone is thinking of completely abandoning the purchase of games, because it so often happens that the desired game appears in the subscription catalog, i.e. could not spend money on the purchase.

For some time, there have been rumors on the net that an expansion is being prepared for Horizon Forbidden West. It turns out that Sony can now acquaint players with the project, in order to then offer to buy DLC.

Hello Bogdan. Theoretically, nothing will happen to the curling iron. But it is advisable to turn it off correctly, in order to avoid problems.
