Sony launches first console-based Alternate Reality Game

Sony has today unveiled their latest concept for Home, Xi, which the company is calling the first ever console-based alternate reality game.

“The adventure takes place in a series of secret areas in Home – and beyond – changing day by day, week by week, in real time,” the company said in a post on the PS Blog.

“Anyone with a PlayStation 3 can join in the fun for free – in English, French, Italian, German or Spanish.

“To discover the mystery of Xi, simply log on to PlayStation Home and look for the graffiti on the wall in the main square. Find that, and all will be revealed…”

With absolutely nothing truly known about this title, it’s up to you to boot up Home for what may be the first time in ages in order to hurry up and be one of the first to find out! Good luck to everyone who decides to take part.
