I saw about a dozen reports like this, and none correctly identified that the original application was filed in 2023-10. No one noted that USPTO actually rejected it in 2025-09, and Sony in response submitted an amendment in 2025-12. So, no, Sony has not patented an AI gameplay ghost, at least not yet. It’s another SIE patent that’s too broad and lacks specifics.
