Whether or not the latest round of PlayStation Home speculation results in the return of Sony’s virtual world, a group of Dreams developers are hoping to revive the idea within Media Molecule’s creation engine. Dreams Central, an upcoming fan project, is wildly ambitious – pledging a social space for release in 2022.
As it stands, creators can’t add online multiplayer components to their Dreams, but this is something the British developer has promised to add at a later date. Whether it’ll be possible to create an online social hub remains up for debate, but clearly the developers already have the framework in place, with playable minigames like bowling and an entire plaza to explore.

Looks interesting. I'm always up to anything that could scratch that PS Home itch. Reminds me, can Dreams support online multiplayer? Or can it only support local multiplayer as of now?
@SoulsBourne128 Can't do online multiplayer yet.
Well that was amazing. The mini games look excellent and I love the logo. There’s just a wealth of talent in the Dreams community and seeing that put into a Home-like project is intriguing.
I remember jumping in and out of Home way back when on PS3. Their E3 events were really cool and really gave a sense of community with everyone milling around the virtual expo floor. It’s kind of funny that people are nostalgic for Home these days because I remember it getting quite a bit of criticism from fans and media who didn’t seem to get it. Might have been a bit ahead if it’s time.
That area at 0:40 is identical to the shopping hub is PSHome. Hype 🙌🏻
Seems like a good sue of Dreams and a good way to keep it going and relevant. Imagine if anybody could build their own area to add on the main base world, like a hamster habitrail of the ISS.
Come to think of it I think that's how the Cylons started their annihilation of the humans. 🤣
Somebody here has been watching too much Battlestar Galactica lol
Back on topic. This is interesting and all but to me personally I've experienced enough online social spaces to last a lifetime.
Looks brilliant. Hopefully they can fulfil their vision.
Can someone in dreams please make Socom 1 and 2 many thanks
The guy who made the music is Amenjo. I've chatted to him a few times and is a great producer, check out his stuff everyone.
@SoulsBourne128 it literally says in the short article
@BearsAndBattles Yeah I know, my bad lol
I liked PlayStation home, I just wish they put actual effort into it. It could have been incredible.
I was thinking I would love to create a 4 player online multiplayer game on Dreams which reveals all 4 screens to all online players (4 player split screen) this would help alot
