The Demon's Souls PS5 remake will pack the Activities feature of the PS5 UI with some 180 helpful videos.

As the Washington Post reported in a broader feature about the making of the PS5, Demon's Souls creative director Gavin Moore confirmed that "there are over 180 videos, each with increasing levels of visibility into what's needed to complete portions of the game, available via the interface." 

From what we've seen, the guides for the Official Game Help portion of PS5 Activities can be overlayed with your game for picture-in-picture-style viewing, or you can just pause to watch them normally. We've seen the feature used for Sackboy: A Big Adventure, but this is the first we've heard of how many guides a game might include. And Demon's Souls is not just any game; it's a first-party launch game with a clear incentive to highlight the PS5's strengths. We'll have to see if future and third-party games are as supportive of the Official Game Help section.
