Sony has announced today the development of version 1.5 of PlayStation Home. The update, which should arrive sometime this spring, will enhance Home’s real-time multiplayer component, improve the physics and include more realistic graphics and animations. Developers will now be able to create first-person shooters, racing games and more that utilize Home’s real-time multiplayer and improved tech.

Gone are the simple arcade games of the past and in the full 3D immersive experience we usually expect to see from a PSN title. For an example of the new tech in action you can check out the trailer for SodiumTwo, a heavily customizable racing game, above the article.
