PS4 Will Allow You To Play Your Games From Multiple Consoles

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/10/ps4-will-allow-you-to-play-your-games-from-multiple-consoles

 

"You can visit your friends house and log into your account and play any game from your digital library .............. with Play As You Download you get much quicker access to at least the first section of the game so you can start playing quicker. So this makes a digital library a practical option in the real world.


Looks like Sony is taking a shot at Microsoft's family share feature (no longer implemented due to DRM policy flip flop).


EDIT - Some sort of security feature will probably be implemented to make sure someone can't download their content to too many PS4's. The PS3 already implements this kind of security feature to prevent wide spread game sharing.

Steam did it

and the play as you download thing is very misleading,

they don't tell you that you only download one portion of the game, play it while the other part is downloading.

pretty sure you can but at least its more practical this time around considering you don't have to wait until the entire game is downloaded.

Yes, but you have to download the game and it is limited to a number of devices.

Yes exactly. Same exact concept (obviously applying only to digital games), just probably more streamlined this time around (and with the benefit of not having to download your entire game to start playing).

Because Microsoft was allowing 10 different accounts access the same library of games. This only lets you access them if you log in on the same account.

Crossel777
On the same console? Sure if the game has co-op. But if your talking about 1 player on one console and another player on another console at the same time. I doubt it.

you mean how you can do the same to a limited extent on 360? First system downloaded to or license transfer allows any acount to play said dlc or game on that system and the gamertag license which allows for play on any system when logged in. Game sharing on ps3 has been limited to two systems for awhile now and just like xbl is a banable offense.

But the ps3 can do that with out the hoop jumping. Remember, you have to licence the xbox under your name and account. You can't do that with an xbox under some else's name and account.

You can play any digital purchase from the 360 on any other console as long as you're signed into your profile. I often do this at friends' by just bringing my profile on a USB stick. The licence transfer, if I remember correctly, is only to allow you to play a digital purchase on a console without the need for you to sign in to XBL. You can only do it every few months I think.
