Sony has launched a new software update for PlayStation 5 and PSVR 2, which presents a new educational application.
Today, the company launched Climate Station, a free application for both consoles that creates awareness about climate change. Use the latest game technology, including virtual reality, to allow users to see, interact and understand complex climatic data to learn more about climate change.
This application is the last project in Sony’s commitment to the United Nations game for the Planet Alliance campaign, which aims to unite the leaders of the game industry to work towards their sustainability objectives.
“Whether it is a curious explorer, a data detective or simply look for something totally exclusive to immerse yourself, this free application available today on PS5 and PSVR 2 is your gateway to the understanding of the forces that make up our world,” said Dan Bardino Senior Director, Strategic Development and Operations, PlayStation Studios in PlayStation Blog.
Those with a 4K TV can watch the climatic station with high quality 4K images of PlayStation 5, while PSVR 2 adds immersion by allowing users to see information in a first -person view.
The application tells the history of climate change through three acts: weather, observations and projections, and also offers an explanatory library, which presents 90 minutes of multimedia content for users to explore.
“Bringing climate awareness to millions of millions through games will help develop knowledge and action to address the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and loss of biodiversity, and pollution and waste,” said Susan Gardner, director of the Ecosystem Division, United Nations Environment Program, in a press release.
“The approach to adapt science to a game format has been impressive. We hope to see how players react to this new tool and also recognize Sony Interactive Entertainment’s leadership to take the science of climate to consoles throughout the planet.”
