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.

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

DontBeStupid Unfortunately I and many others have no choice but to purchase the Xbox One, because of the only good exclusive it has, Halo (even Halo 4 was atrocious however). If you're going to purchase one of them, do it for good reason, not because you're a stubborn child (not directed specifically at you) that puts his fingers in his ears every time someone tries to explain why the PlayStation 4 is superior on the basis of facts.


Come on mate don't be stupid. How do you have no choice? because you buy a console based on one single game niiicee. Please tell me a good reason to buy the one because yours is atrocious.


I don't understand how his reason is atrocious? I presume you are buying the console for gaming, so how do you think games have nothing to do with it? If you are buying a console for the gaming part of it which I assume almost everyone would be you are going to choose the one you think has the best exclusive games.


Because the console he's buying it for is still the most restriction console out there. (even though it's not really "out there" yet) I don't think it's worth getting a console like that for just one game. Ever since 343 took over, Halo's gone kind of stale anyway.


My point is how can you really make a decision over which to pick by one game therefore one single specific feature. The reason i am getting the one is because of about 30 things i prefer over the ps4. The fact that he clearly doesn't like the one is probably a reason why i wouldn't get it. "Most restriction Console" lol nice literacy skills


Its all just opinion. Dont fight about it.

Ted- Everything Microsoft does Playstation counters, lol no creativity.


I was thinking that, quite sad


I agree, but there is still one difference between the companies. Reliability. Microsoft has been successful with Xbox Live, while Sony has a hard time maintaining their online account system.


very true.

This is really annoying, why does everyone say they are countering. Everything they are saying has been set in stone for months now! They are only answering the question given to them damn. I hate people who don't understand that Sony is just doing everything right this time around. Shit annoys me.
