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.

All you haters sayin they doing the exact opposite and have no creativity, your full of shit, The modern console design is because of the playstaion 1, so in theory you can say the xbox was a complete copy, and i know that to genrelized but you get what im saying

The Only reason why Sony keeps releasing info after Microsoft does is because once Microsoft releases info about the X1, people on twitter are spamming and asking Sony & Yoshida about stuff, like this for example. So stop with the " SONY COPIES MS EVETLRYTYMEE OMG." And I'm pretty sure they plan out their consoles and what it does and stuff way back from now.

Yeah I know right, it's not like Microsoft changed up their whole console to end up making both consoles virtually the same. No creativity, lol

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.
