I was about to make fun of this.

Starfield was astroturfed to shit on the Xbox store, with comment's like "It's the PS fanboys downvoting it.". It's not like you had to buy the damn game to rate it but let's pretend it's a conspiracy.

If Sony fans got together to review bomb games in any significant number these Xbox games would have scores below 10 every single time!

PS4 already had that

I believe it is just for owners of the game.

Just those who bought a game, downloaded a game via PS+, downloaded a F2P, can rate a game. So, it's good. But of course, rating F2P games can be exploited. LOL

No store should be without such a feature.

Next I want the movie store back and communities.

Sony has today introduced Star Ratings on the PS Store, meaning players can get an idea of how any given game has been received by fellow players before making a purchase.

As you can see in the screenshots below, the likes of Robocop: Rogue City has a 4.53 star rating on the PlayStation Store. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, meanwhile, only has 2.59.

This new rating system is not limited to the games released this year, with the Uncharted 2: Among Thieves' remaster sitting (quite rightly in my opinion) with 4.59 stars.

The stars themselves are generated by PlayStation users, who can only rate a game if they actually own it in some capacity. As you can see in the image below, when I went onto my version of the Assassin's Creed: Ezio Collection, I was met with the message "you haven't rated this game yet".

Who needs this

So I tried this last night - only gmes that I have bought digitially could be rated weather currently downloaded or not - physical however, I got a message that I had to own the game, or game downloaded - I was locked out. So I took out my Ragnarok game, loaded it onto the system, and only then would it let me vote.

Just found that an interesting tidbit.

I don’t like how this removes the game description. It doesn’t look with good with the ratings. Leave that to actual rating section. The game description looks better there.

Store is still one of the 2 things Xbox does much better than PlayStation and backwards compatibility. They need to add written reviews like Xbox, it'll be a lot more trustworthy than random journalists
