PS4 Firmware 2.0 Brings SharePlay And Much More

Sony announced today at their gamescom press conference playStation for firmware update 2.0
Some new features of the firmware update includes recommend friends to you, gameplay videos and the ability upload directly to YouTube. One of the biggest features of the update the share play, play is away for you and your friends to play the same game virtually no matter where you are. You can share the game cooperatively or competitively with a friend with out both of you owning the same game. Here are some details straight from The PlayStation Blog

The best way to think about Share Play is like a “virtual couch”. PlayStation 4 will create an online local co-op experience by allowing you to invite a friend to join your game—even when they don’t own a copy of it. With this first-of-its-kind feature, you’ll be able to play games with a friend just as if you were together in the same room. Let’s say that with games… you’ll be able to invite your friend online to play against the Miami Heat for the championship as the San Antonio Spurs in NBA2K, tackle the challenging Towerfall Ascension Quest Mode together, or aide, heal, and protect you as Igniculus in Child of Light’s local co-op mode. With Share Play, you can even jump into a game to assist a friend. For example, if there is part of a game that you can’t quite finish, you can invite a friend to take over your controls. Like handing over the controller to a friend on your couch, your screen will be shared as your friend gets through the part of the game that has been giving you trouble—can’t get past that part in The Last of Us: Remastered when you’re hanging upside down? Get a little help.
