Share Play, functionality announced alongside the PS4 reveal, will soon head to the console as part of the PS4 2.0 update.

Share Play will allow control of a game from a remote location, and Sony is touting the functionality as a means for a friend to help another friend beat a tricky part of a game.

The functionality means the remote player won’t need to download, install, or own the game as all play will take place on the original console.

A dedicated YouTube app is also part of the 2.0 update.

The PS4 update 2.0 will head to the console sometime this spring.

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.
