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.

I think the Plus is just more of a discount program for free games and discounts as you can still do everything without having to buy a subscription. We shouldn't have to pay for many of the features we get for Gold on Live, like Netflix, Skype or DVR.

Ranzee Good addition, fair play to Sony.

Not bother me too much I'm getting Xbox but this would be a good addition if they were to do this on Xbox


Hopefully they show us a lot on August 20th.


Yeah I hope we see a lot more good stuff and features.
