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.

Boar I find it amusing how Xbox announces you need gold to use the DVR then soon after Sony try to scrape up scraps by making it free, its getting desperate now to be honest.


Agreed i wonder if the sony fans are seeing what sony are doing seriously


I think it is now kind of funny how much Sony is beating Microsoft in everything. Who cares if they made the discussion after Microsoft said it requires gold to use dvr. At least they don't force you to buy ps plus for every aspect of the console.


not yet but they will


Beating in Everything? Exaggeration I say yes, in some things sure, be we have the upper hand in other things.

Defiantly a cool new feature but it's still not a huge deal. If you can afford the PS4 or Xbox One then you should be able to pay for a membership. If you can't you really shouldn't be spending your money.
