    Sony’s latest PlayStation survey indicates that the company is planning to introduce a reputation system. The survey also highlights other features that Sony may be working towards. Some of the other features mentioned are invisibility, advanced matchmaking, ability to change PSN usernames and more.

    The survey focuses on the would be reputation system by asking PlayStation members about how they would like it to work, and how they would rank their PlayStation Network community experience. It is possible that Sony is working on a reputation system much like the one announced by Microsoft.

    However, the survey also covers a slew of other features that the company may implement in a future PS4 firmware update. In the survey, users can rate how appealing the following PS4 features would be: player reputation system, advanced matchmaking system, ability to chat across PlayStation platforms, ability to change your PlayStation username, ability to be invisible when online, ability to party chat with more than eight people at the time, ability to synchronize messages across platforms, and on-screen notifications when friends come online.

    Although the survey focuses on the reputation system and online experience, it is interesting to see that Sony is mentioning that players may be able to change their PlayStation usernames.
