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.

Ampz Not really a big difference to be honest.


This one thing might not be a big deal but the whole online service is. Sony is earning the respect of people right now unlike MS so it is a big deal.

-CP I predict Sony will not make loads of money, if any.
I agree with that!!


Why? I guarantee 99% of people will pay, for membership, you pay membership for online gaming, not being able to record, which was never offered previously and people still paid for it. Sony will most likely make more money due to higher demand of the console. And they also produce a wide variety of other electronics to make money off of.


That's true it would not make a difference if you had to have Plus to record or not.
