PlayStation 4 System Software 2.0 Lets You Share Games Without Your Friends Owning Them
Sony's long promised game sharing will finally be live later this year. Starting in autumn, PlayStation Plus members will be able to virtually pass the controller or invite friends into their games cooperatively or competitively. While that might seem like something the PS4 already allows, there's something different about Share Play.
Your friends don't need to own the games you share with them. They also won't need to download them, which hints that the PlayStation Now architecture will be used for more than game rentals. PlayStation update 2.0 will also bring YouTube video uploading, a feature for which fans have been asking.
We'll hear more about System Software 2.0 and SharePlay closer to release.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
