PlayStation Home – Blueprint:Home Goes Live

PlayStation Home will be briefly offline from 8.00am BST on Wednesday 1st August for routine maintenance. Here is what to expect after the update…

The wait is nearly over. After Wednesday’s maintenance window, for the very first time you will be able to create your own apartment in PlayStation Home using Blueprint:Home from nDreams. With the ability to create and save five different apartments and a huge amount of customisation options included, Blueprint:Home offers an unrivalled experience.

Since its announcement there have been a lot of questions asking exactly how it would work. Luckily nDreams have created a walkthrough video to show you just how easy it is to create your own apartment.

Blueprint:Home is the first of its kind and no doubt we will see fantastic community creations. It’s perfect for Machinima creators to come up with even more scenarios and with future Style Packs coming soon there will be even more customisation possible in the future.

To pick up Blueprint:Home visit the Blueprint table in Home Square, the nDreams shop or Estates in the Shopping Centre (East).

The sporting event of the year has arrived in Home Square! That’s right, it’s… the Home Sports Day! A season of games kicks off with the 100m sprint. Keep an eye on Home Square over the coming weeks as more opportunities will emerge for displaying your sporting prowess.

The Stylish Suit from Granzella has arrived! It provides a slim silhouette for a man, and is also available for women seeking a fashionable trouser suit look. Available in Black, Grey, and Black Stripe.

Mmmmm, the lovely warm smell of freshly baked bread, a pot of coffee keeping warm on the hot plate, the scent of foxgloves and honeysuckle drifting through the open window from the garden… All that’s missing is the quaint little oven and English country cottage furniture. Cucumber comes through once again with the Country Kitchen Set!

Head to the Lockwood store to find everything you need to create your idyllic kitchen scene. Versatile corner and cupboard units allow for a kitchen as snug or as grand as you please and kitsch knick-knacks like the kettle and the breadbin will make the perfect finishing touches. All items are created in Cucumber’s signature classic-meets-modern style.

Coming soon – VICKIE is breaking her programming and escaping the Sodium Hub. She needs your help to explore the rest of PlayStation Home! Look forward to VICKIE full body suits and Sodium Companions!

Other updates this week include the return of the Street Fighter X Tekken mini-game, and a new set of tattoos from Heavy Water. There are also 11 new items in the Wrangler store – a new range of tops and jackets will be available, including the classic “Western Denim Jacket” for the gentlemen and the “Robyn Blazer” for the ladies.

Also, make sure to join us starting this Friday 3rd August to take part in our EU-wide Home Fashion Week Challenge. Show off your style and creativity to be a lucky winner of prizes and praise.

That’s all for now. See you in PlayStation Home!
