Holy shit did anyone see the update on this.
So if I have madden I can just invite you to the game and you can play with me without having a disc. This will go for all Co op games.
This is an absolute game changer. Xbox will soon have to add this feature themselves.

Hot damn. Apparently Xbox is still considering their Family Sharing (which got the ax well before prelaunch during the infamous Xbox 180) but Sony's feature makes it look like a turd with a bow on it.
-
I also love being able to upload PS4 share to YouTube now. I don't get to game a whole lot and have never had time to buy a video recorder (whatever they are called) and make videos so it's nice to be able to do that through my Playstation.
-
Nintendo DS' have had this forever, it's about time a console actually does it.
-
Lol playstation
-
-
I mean PS stole it from Nintendo so if Xbox does it then good who gives a -blam!-
-
-
Yeh u got some games to Share
-
Add me i_willl_rob_you
-
Interesting.
-
MS really dropped the ball on this. They were so mad that DRM failed they used it as an excuse to scrap game sharing completely and now PS4 has it without DRM. Now watch MS copy it like they copy everything else PS4 has and everyone will praise Phil Spencer for it.
-
Anyone got alien isolation and willing to let me share play it? Lol
-
Whens this update out?
-
-
>People saying everyone hated it when MS wanted to do this Nobody hated sharing games. People hated the bullshit DRM policies that MS tried to implement alongside it. This is great news.
-
And yet when Microsoft said they'd have this last fall, everyone had a -blam!-ing stroke over it... I -blam!-ing hate fanboys...
-
When is this actually coming out?? The update? I've been waiting for this update for a while now.
-
Umm. Is it me or does this sound vaguely familar? The masses are going over the top crazy for this. Yet, I seem to recall something so very familar that everyone hated.

Hmmmmmm
-
Im happy cuz we'll finally get new themes...this blue one is boring like hell...
-
Can't mod it with homebrew games such as nes ports of mario and some indie titles.

When are we getting the update?
-
This feature came out a long time ago on the Nintendo DS. Lots of Mario games supported it.

Interesting concept. Firstly, the game needs to support this feature from what I gather. Secondly, you either need to download the typically ungodly large file or (more likely) Sony is putting their PS Now tech to work. If they are then that means internet speeds and latency will be an issue. If the former is the scenario then it's a poor man's Family Sharing. In the original concept of Family Sharing you could play a friend's game as long as you're the only one playing it apart from the owner. With PlayStation firmware 2.0 it appears you'll need your buddy to be online and invite you. A feature is better than no feature so this is great news for PS4 owners. But, without details, it seems like hype should be taken sparingly. It could also be great news for Xbox One owners. If Sony is encouraging the Shared Play feature, it might kick Microsoft in the pants so they can hurry with their promised Family Sharing feature (which by the descriptions sounds like it does "sharing" better).
