sony heard you liked games, so it put an mmo in your home so you could socially game while you socially game. the company just announced the launch of sodium one (yeah, we don't know either), a self-contained social mmo space within playstation home.

by taking the teleporter installed in the central plaza, home users can receive in-game objectives from an ai called ''''''vickie.'''''' said objectives then task the player with playing various minigames, including ''''''objective-based meta-games, full arcade-style games and community events.'''''' the first game accessible in the space: salt shooter, a game in which players use tanks to shoot robots. only five levels of this minigame are available for free, with more levels and items unlockable through microtransactions.

sony is giving away 1,050 free salt shooter unlocks to early sodium one adopters, so be sure to go check that out soon if you're interested. more games, events, and virtual goods will be added over time.continue reading sony launches a salt on home with 'sodium one' social gaming space
