PS4 News: Sony Clears Up How Game Sharing Works

Sony revealed how the PS4 game sharing system works in an FAQ announcement on their site today. Aside from the standard place disc in console and play game method, full games can be downloaded to the console, or uploaded from the disc.

The gamer's user profile for the PS4 will be accessible from any console, but they must have one "primary system." Games may even be downloaded to a secondary console, and for whatever reason if the primary console needs to be switched, that can be done too.

Digital downloads will automatically sync to the primary console even if purchased else where. According to the Verge, there is no limit to the number of downloads on any console the user has, however, only two of the users files can be open at the same time, much like how Netflix only allows the same account to be open in two places only.

Last week, we made Knack and Warframe available for pre-order, and today we're releasing pre-orders for Killzone Shadow Fall, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, and Battlefield 4," the PlayStation blog said on its site.

It continued, "If you pre-order these titles today, you'll have them when they launch for PS4. As an added bonus, all four games feature exclusive pre-order bonuses."
