PS Plus not required to record & stream PS4 games, says Yoshida

4.7
Sony Worldwide Studios boss and Twitter info desk Shuhei Yoshida revealed PS4 owners won't require a PlayStation Plus subscription to access the system's game recording and streaming functions. After yesterday's news that the Xbox One's Game DVR recording is tied to Xbox Live Gold, several Twitter users asked Yoshida if Plus was needed for the PS4's similar functionality. Yoshida not once, not twice, but thrice replied in the negative.

When approached, A Sony Computer Entertainment UK spokesperson told Joystiq a PS Plus subscription doesn't confer any extra functionality regards recording and streaming games. As confirmed to CVG, the PS4 can continually record 15 minutes of gameplay in the background, which users can edit and publish online, as well as stream video.

MD5 They are doing a lot of things that the Xbox One can do but without a price, the PS4 is definitely looking better in my eyes. You need gold to use this on the Xbox.


Because PS4 does not allow external game capture :|


I didn't know that. And, I don't see why people complain about paying a membership fee. I do a yearly for the Xbox Gold and am fine with it.
