PlayStation 5 users will have more flexibility in sharing their gameplay footage. according to an announcement by Sony on Wednesday. The console maker announced that it is “gradually introducing the ability to share your PS5 gameplay footage to more regions via the PS app! America is first, with more countries coming next month.”
The PS app allows users to scroll through clips, view them, download them to their mobile devices and easily post them to social media. PlayStation Plus membership is not required to use. Sony clarified in a FAQ following the announcement that “Your recordings will be stored on SIE’s cloud servers for 14 days to make them available to you via the PlayStation App”.
Game capture allows players to take a quick snapshot or clip a video of their last game. This is ideal for sharing great competitive moments where you get an awesome series of headshots, or silly moments in a single player campaign that you want to share with friends.
Currently, sharing these game captures via the PS app is only available in Canada and Japan. Now that the feature is on its way to more regions, with America next in line, it will be easier for players to navigate and share their clips. It’s obviously not mandatory, but it’s a feature that’s certainly nice to have, especially if you just want to share a silly or cool moment from a game without jumping through hoops.
Sony will later release details on which regions will next get access to this feature, but it will be “rolled out gradually in America” in the near future.
