The biggest upgrade may be the chance to join an event, as Sony's tournaments are finally available to play on PS5. It should be easier to find a competition that fits your life with the new focus on shorter tourneys. Multiple brackets will be created by Sony to make sure the duration is kept in check. It's possible to sign up directly from your console, so you won't have to head to another device to start.

PS5 activity cards and notifications help you find events, track results, and let you know when it's time to play, as well as a reworked interface that takes advantage of PS5 activity cards and notifications to let you know when it's time to play. Competitions can be found on the home screen of games. If you'd like to do more than just compete, there's a community hub that will host interviews and game sessions.
