The PS4’s Share Play can only be used for 60 minutes at a time

Sony’s Share Play functionality, announced as part of the PS4’s 2.0 update, has a time limit of sixty minutes.

Sony confirmed the details over the weekend.

Share Play means a friend can control your game, via stream, without needing to own the game or download and install the game beforehand. It would seem that this sixty minute restriction will prevent friends from letting other friends start and finish games without paying for the privilege.

Do you think the sixty minute restriction is fair?

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
