Sony has filed a patent describing an AI-controlled decoy account system intended to identify scammers, spammers, cheaters, and potential predators on PlayStation. The filing, application number 18/314775, was published on August 13, 2026.
While video game companies typically file patents for new gaming technology that benefits the gamer directly, it seems Sony is looking past that in its latest filing, as it seeks to protect rather than provide a new gameplay experience.
