PS plus not needed for Social and Media - PS4 Auto Updates

4.5
Sony has talked about a lot of changes that have been added on the new Playstation 4. On the PS3, you only got auto updates if you were subscribed to the PS plus. Now, they have released this feature free to everyone.

The PS4 now offers movies and catch-up TV for free as well. They are trying to keep everything balanced if you don't have a subscription. Online multiplayer is also free, just like the PS3 was.

Resolute "Online multiplayer is also free, just like the PS3 was." Wait so online multiplayer is free for PS4?


Yes it is. They must have changed their policy cause during E3 they said you required Plus to play. I'm not sure how true it is, since this is a TTG News post, and they aren't always 100% accurate.


I saw people arguing about that and I thought PS4 was charging for online now? I think someone said it was $5 or something like that.

Katsumi This is great news. It's pretty much doing a lot of what the Xbox One makes you pay for, for free


Exactly, this is why I think the PS4 Will do better overall

Woobie Even with the changes MS just announced for XBOX One, I still think the PS4 will outsell.

It's hard to say at this time. Things are still changing for both sides. I think with this new information, the sales will be a lot closer.

SeaEoh They finally got party chat. If they didn't add that in, Xbox would win by FAR.


Of course, cause something tiny like that would put them ahead.

I think I said this before, but If I buy a new system, I'm getting a PS4.

wok so what does ps plus actually do now? party chats or something?


Basically just to play games online like cod, battlefield, etc. if your not a member you get access to everything besides that... So you can still have party chat, Netflix, etc and access to free to play games(if they are FTP then you do get to multiplayer)
