PS+ Online Storage Increases to 10 GB

The PS4 3.00 Firmware update will add, among other things, an increase in capacity for cloud storage for PS+ members, from 1GB to 10GB.

Considering I was only just bitching about this a few days ago, I can safely say I am very happy, and kudos to Sony for addressing one of the most contentious issues with their PS+ offerings.

and it only took 2 years

Well, if you wanna be all technical, it took five years.

You might just change the title to PS4 update 3.0 detailed instead of mentioning one feature just a thought :P

Anyways REALLY cool update i like that favorite group and wait... community forums?? YES!! i can finally add ALL my Destiny friends, clan, groups, etc into one single place and chat it up omg!

YouTube live? i just started the whole streaming to Twitch thing so the YouTube live stream is a very nice add

love the new update and looking forward to all the other stuff they didnt mention

Great news!

What kind of saves actually take up a lot of space?

Mortal Kombat, LittleBigPlanet.

Basically any save with loads of replays or user data associated with it. As far as I am aware, my cumulative Witcher 3 saves are 243MB.

@charizard1605: yeah didn't think of that. GTA 5 with the upcoming Director Mode must get pretty huge too.

@finalstar2007: the community feature is brilliant. I was thinking how cool a feature like this would be on current gen consoles. Hopefully MS can bring this to Xbox live because it would be a lot easier to find co-op/multiplayer friends for gaming in a community. BUT good stuff, would be cool to join the gamespot system wars community.....so I can game with the legends of system wars on PS4.

Sony heard your bitching! :D

@charizard1605: As I've been blissfully unaware of savefile sizes this gen, is this great (as in, extremely urgent and needed) or good ( not really needed but rather nice to have)?

I never had any PS+ space room issues, but more space is always nice.

Then again, cloud storage on consoles was on PS first.

It was needed two years ago. On a scale of terrible to amazing, this is more of a 'well, it's about fucking time, Sony.'

Next they should focus on making smaller game save files or having devs from this point forward committing to doing so; wasn't that a big gripe of TC's regarding Sony's online infrastructure regarding the PS4 he posted about the other day?

@charizard1605: Ah, very well :P

I know that at one point I needed it for the PS3 (way too many saves there) but so far, so good on my PS4. Good for those in need then! :D

about time.

i was tired of getting the *Online storage cannot upload* notification everytime i start up a game.

Fucking finally.

being first is irrelevant when you're the worst.

no folder support l-o-l

Mine has been full since the first month the ps4 came out. Of course having 100s of games on ps3, vita and ps4 doesnt' help.

It sucked when i upgraded to a 2gb hard drive. That 10gb would of saved me a massive amount of time. As it was I had to use an 8gb stick and individually transfer save files, as I don't keep 500mb external hard drives laying around the house to do some backup and restore.

Good news and definitely needed!

About damn time.

For the gamers Sony is

neat, I guess...

Hey, it worked! What should we have @charizard1605 ask for next?

PS4 has community forums for "each game" now? If that's true, then that is a fantastic addition to PSN. One of the many features I like about steam. Link?

Credit goes to Xbox, but that's already obvious.

The worst at Cloud Storage would be Nintendo and besides it's obvious that being the worst sucks, sure, but you missed my point.

At one time console cloud storage was only for Playstation and at that time it was the best since it was the only "Console Cloud" storage in town. It's funny how something no console had suddenly is this prized possession to debate about. Cloud storage is convenient.

The timeline of five years (August 2010) seemed peculiar since five years ago Cloud Storage didn't even exist for Xbox 360. It didn't even exist for Playstation yet. That's not very technical at all, is it?

I don't take any of these comparisons personally, facts are facts, but who cares. Right now in the "lol cloud storage console wars", Xbox is the best, Playstation is second, Nintendo is third. It wasn't always this way, but that's the case today. At one time Playstation was the only machine that had cloud storage which was the best and only place for console cloud storage. Sony have been bested for sometime though on that cloud storage console front (I would know, I've been a member of Xbox Live longer than some of SW have even had an Xbox, Nintendo, or Playstation).

Posting stuff about particular consoles and circuits might make you feel better, but that doesn't change anything I said because someone else claimed to be technical and then posted inaccuracies.

Well Steam has had cloud storage for saves for probably that long now, so I guess you could say it took them 3 years to catch up (2010-2013) =p

My post was about console cloud storage since my very first post in the thread, which I made clear over and over ("lol cloud storage console wars")...I'm well aware of PC's offerings with the cloud beyond and including Steam. Also, PS didn't just get cloud storage, nor did Xbox...

PC is a whole different ball game far beyond consoles which is why I was clear to limit my post to consoles...repeatedly. :P

Lol what did I say in your other thread?

All of these issues will be resolved in due time.

Lol. They heard you.. Nice bitching powers!

HAHA Super bitch powers. He's like a super hero. :-P

now all @charizard1605 needs to bitch about is a new motorstorm and GT7 (or some decent racing game unlike driveclub) and i'll get a PS4

@mems_1224: Since you don't like PS it should be of no concern to you, yet you seem bothered.

Good news! Considering everything (retail, indies, ps+, etc), i have about 70 games installed on my HDD, and almost 4GB just for saves.

10GB is better, but nothing compared to the UNLIMITED offer Microsoft is giving with Xbox Live

lol

HAHAHA

Dem super powahs :-P

You'll never please everyone.

Sony are giving 10, people will complain that they need 100GB for some reason. Get an external Harddrive if you need that much space.

but sony doesn't have that option

but is it? i think it's only for media

Kazuo Hirai must be a poster on System Wars. He probably saw your post, @charizard1605.

Great news. I finally gave up trying to keep my online storage space open, and just started saving everything to a thumb drive. 1GB of storage was way too little when some games were saving 500MB save files. Glad to see Sony is listening to people this generation.

good improvement, but they should remove the paywall. MS gives unlimited free, Steam gives 1GB per game free, sony gives 10GB total behind a paywall.

You can use an external HDD on your computer. Sony should make the ps4 compatible with them but even with my ps3, I rarely used my external HDD on it. it's more of a luxury than a need.
