- In 2021, we released an IGN Inside Story about the PlayStation Home fans refusing to let it die, where we met Nagato from Destination Home, a non-profit project attempting to revive PlayStation Home and restore the much loved PS3 social hub for future generations.
2 years later and 8 years after the official service shut down for good, a group of hardcore PlayStation Home fans have finally got a playable version of PlayStation Home running. We reached back out to Nagato to not only talk about the development journey since we last spoke, but also to test out the playable version of PlayStation Home restored by its fans.

PlayStation home Was great it’s just sad it was a 75% - 35% partnership and and Sony truly had no real control
Sony needs to take notice just how much everyone loved home and bring it back
Right!
Sony hates their fans. The best alternative is Tower Unite.
@@Soggywafflecakesno
@@alenmack3471 yeah also i've played tower unite it doesn't feel like a hub game more like just a minigame simulator
When are yall gonna realize that they don't care about what we want, they only care about giving us what they want, and what they want is for everyone to be miserable and dumbed down, they don't care about entertaining their players anymore, those days ended with the playstation 2, it seems like all these billion dollar AAA tech companies care about now is just brainwashing their players into believing and living whatever narrative that is trending within society.... games aren't enjoyable anymore they are just money pots we gotta keep dumping our hard earned money into to make the games interesting....
Home was way ahead of its time. It's so sad we didn't even realize what we had until we lost it.
It was Metaverse before the metaverse
Yeah but, it had 150 million players. Why would they off something with that large of a player base?
(Think it was 1 million plus active players at any given time)
same goes for little big planet karting & 1 and 2 and sadly now 3.... literally miss them man.
Exactly...
@@trashyspeeds266because a lot of those players didn't spend any money.
People don’t realize PS Home was ahead of it’s time… it was literally an early taste of what the Metaverse could be like
But way better even back then
The Metaverse we wanted
Better than "Metaverse." Lol.
Crazy to find a First Soldier in this section
@@ikki133 you know my name? :0 I did indeed play First Soldier! Haha
Imagine home being around during covid times
That wud have been amazing :(
Ong
Omfg it would be so lit !
So true
PSHome had such wholesome vibes from its music, atmosphere to visual style.
Exactly! Why else do you think they removed it?
PlayStation home Was great it’s just sad it was a 75% - 35% partnership and and Sony truly had no real control
@@thebigXgaming Yup, it was too high vibrational. Had to get rid of it.
@@thaistomp bingo you got it
Shout out to the Devs and the fans who donated their data to make this possible
Playstion Home was the best thing Sony ever did.
So why remove something that everyone clearly enjoyed and loved to play?
@@thebigXgamingI hear a rumor about it. (I'm sorry I'm not native speaker) but Supposedly it was because most of the gains went to in-game content creators business like nDreams etc... and the whole platform or so much of pshome were made by them, so sony decided to closed it Instead create or change the whole platform with sony original content only
@@DHP_ Greed is the downfall of all great things.
This makes so much sense with PSVR 2 . The concept was way ahead of its time.
Agreed
Second life launched in 2003
Yeah how do they not have a vr hub yet
@@christopherross8976 I'm sure some users are already visiting a "hub" in their VR headsets ....hehe
Idk about “ahead of it’s time”
Sony should make a ps5 PSHome, it would be a social space for all PS5 games
Billion dollar idea
Didn’t they shut it down because it wasn’t profitable? What makes you think a newer version would make money?
Would also make way more sense when you factor in psvr 2 as well.
Think about it with the computing power of modern hardware of today. SSD's gigabit connections and so on.
@@gold-818 again, why would sony devote time and resources to that when the first one didn’t make them any money?
Genuinely spent more time on home than any games with my PS3 back a day
facts
sameee
Same! Why else do you think they removed it?
Me too
Everyone did
Bro it’s 2024 we need PlayStation home back please im begging on my knees
For real.
Look up destination home everybody a team brought ps home back on the airwaves for PC and ps3 owners you can play today !!! Let’s breathe life back into home today !
Boy onG
Thanks for covering us again Dale, it means a lot!
Love you man your a big part of all of this happening
You are all amazing for working on this! 🫶🏾☺️
Thank YOU for doing something that gives me an interesting story to tell! - Dale
You guys doing amazing work :) keep it up
How do we support?
Nothing can beat psnhome it was the future really
It felt nice to explore and just hang out on this back on the ps3...i missed it
PS Home would’ve been perfect during the COVID period since everyone was locked in at home. The amount of money SONY could’ve made off of a PS5 Home experience.. Missed opportunity man.
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Oh man the memories
PlayStation home made it easier to make friends so bring it back would be amazing
Home had really great first party content, that and it being run by Sony really boosted some of the quality of content, over UGC content. The developers that really stuck their neck out and provided content for Home made Home a great experience that separates it from other experiences like VRChat and Second Life.
This feature was so ahead of its time!! So fun and interesting!!
This brings back memories, it was a nice hub to find news on games and also playing games like that racing one on a moon, minigames like bowling and also customizing your room and person. Great times indeed
Home was pretty cool and it'd be awesome if they brought it back
From one of the members that worked on it' the give me so much joy to see.
Terrence! Yeah man, same here. It really is amazing seeing that Home still means so much to people.
This type of thing is kind of inevitable. We have had several incarnations of online social spaces with functioning avatars.
None of them have soul like Home did
@@raptorgator Yeah there was a special energy that Home had. So epic.
This unironically shits all over metaverse
The fact that this isn’t a thing anymore is a travesty.
cant believe we got to play this for free ps3 in general was too advance even had a web browser that we now dont have.
This was my Life...... PS Home Is Life!
Sony made the metaverse way before the word even existed
this is amazing
Big ❤ for PS - Home Brings back happy memories 😀👍
Thanks nagato and everyone who helped me go back home
They need to bring home back to ps5
A Metaverse before modern “Metaverses”
Y’all remember the ps home families? SKS and UMTO used to post up on the steps at the godfather area 😂
The Real OG Still alive. there wasnt no pshome without me 😂 yall remember l-800-SMOKE-TREE
The fams was the best
Used to be part of THM Too Huge Mafia
Playstation home was so great and beautiful way to have fun and meet people
Playstation home the real metaverse
Second life: am i a joke to you
@@alextoolstudioyes, yes you are
@@alextoolstudioyeah you fuckin are
@@DisabledSailor dang
Please continue folks!! You’re great :o I look forward testing this
Its amazing how they built this up from almost nothing, revived it and now expand it.
Can Sony shut this down?
Since it’s a non profit thing it’s legally a gray area. Openly admitting to reverse engineering the code, even for a defunct service/product, could open them to cease and desist orders tho
@@5lim.0 dang it bobby
They need to bring this Back, Mannn It's Been So Long Since I've Seen The Home 🗣️💯
PS Home would be great on the PS5 with the SSD loading speed
Fans: We love PsHome!
Sony: We getting rid of Pshome.
Thank you for this video! We should get an update on their progress every few months or once a year!
They should bring that back for the psvr2 it was perfect
Acorn Park was my favourite.. hope it's brought back.
The music in the mall was 🔥
Ps home means so much to us
Been playing this daily... destination home is solid 👌💪
Just need more players to hop on
PSVR 2 is just so damn pricey rn
Sony should port it over to playstation 4 and 5
How do we join?
@@ZeroWFPFwhat
Omg the dolphi portals 😢 I am crying
How do you donate your save file from PS Home?
Looks better than Meta.
If it can run on a new engine and they include mechanics to make it smoother. Also include VR support
Fans be like “Fine I’ll do it myself”. Sony should’ve never dropped this
Oh yeah.... its all coming together now~☆
Home brings back some great memories
I've been playing with the crew on ps home online it's so much fun
Sick!
PlayStation needs to release PlayStation Home 2.0 with optional PSVR2 functionality. Exactly like what VR CHAT is doing right now on PC. It's the perfect selling point for their virtual reality tech. Come on Sony!
Much Love 💓
I've not been on that platform for decades
Bring Home Back!!
Aurora, acorn meadows park, mid night clade, club luminosity, help more ........❤
They need to bring this back ASAP 😭😭
Bring back home!!!!
Now we will have to rely on the 'Tekken 8" online social space on the PlayStation 5, to have a similar PlayStation Home experience on the PlayStation next-gen console 😊
One of my favorite spaces in PS Home was the Xi Museum. There were two text based games that were my first introduction to that kind of game media. I'd love a chance to play those again.
You sound really dumb.
I'd buy a PSVR2 immediately if they announce a release date for a PS Home PS5 version
ModNation Racers is also being restored atm btw
PlayStation home Was great it’s just sad it was a 75% - 35% partnership and and Sony truly had no real control
It reminded me of imvu with a little bit less clothing from the real world, but Home was lit
PS Home was ahead of its time...an its time to come back is now
wonder how Sony feels about this?
is it available for EU? do you have to have a previous account to be able to play it? and do you download it from the PSN store?
Yes, no but it would help the community to use your old account. You get the files from joining destination home
Can you imagine the space for FF7 Remake? The gold saucer games, seventh heaven bar, sooo much potential there...with the return of EA sports college football you could have nike track outfits of your team (or adidas or UA) merchandise for your apartment...a lot of money being left on the table here
Its ALIVE!
Take note Sony.
When ps home shut down it was so devastating😢
Actually assumed that ps would introduce a ps homestyle astrobot game when ps5 got announced but was wrong sadly
Amazing
I’ve come up with a concept for a PS Vita version, but with several changes and improvements. It’s called “PlayStation Home: Vita Edition”.
Great work Destination Home 😁
Makes me wonder if they can recovered old accounts with the new ones
FINALLY THANK YOU!!
Omg ❤❤ YES PLEASE!
Nagano does it have Playstation 5 Playstation home in him or is just on play station 4 and 3 pshome?
My boy natato from the Bronx!!!!!
Shutting PS Home and not porting over to the PS4 was a mistake from Sony along with other mistakes they've made like ditching the Vita along with all their other features and such, imagine PS Home on the PS4 and PS5 as well as a graphically improved version of it and a VR version too, missed opportunity on Sony tbh, along with many missed opportunities and such from them tbh
It really was my first game on the ps3😄
Yes!!!
Im just glad Everywhere is looking to make this type of experience come up again at a AAA level. + the ability to create your own games or houses.
my childhood
Now they need to do this with the old smackdown vs raw games for the ps3
We need a download link ASAP
Amazing story sony should hire this man
miss pshome! Wish it never ended, would rather play on pshome then vrchat
is there any other games like this
Sony, come on -- This is something that needs to be remade for PS5 and modern hardware! Make it happen!
I'm hoping on it right now
Playstation home and life with PlayStation…top tier! Bring it back PLEASE!
Bring it back PlayStation
Please bring back playstation home
If they remade this with VR they could make so much money
Ps home was fire.
