Eli5: Why does tiktok know when I’ve downloaded a new game on my PS5?

1.09K views

Downloaded Hunt: Showdown, and tiktok immediately started showing me videos of the game. Didn’t speak the name out loud, didn’t text about it to anyone, didn’t google anything about it. Does Sony share info with tiktok, or could it have recognized the soundtrack of the game through my mic or something?

Edit: the phone is never on the wifi where the console is, so it’s not that.

Yeah, data sharing is most likely. Sony or Google have pretty extensive clauses on the collection and reselling your history.

In any case – welcome to the Bayou, brother. The first 100 hours will be hard, but you’ll get better!
