Sony has just sent out a press release giving us more details on the features of PlayStation Plus and its benefits for PS4 owners.
To accelerate the enhancement of PS Plus, available concurrently with the launch of PS4, SCE will offer the #DRIVECLUB PS Plus Edition to PS Plus members which delivers all the authenticity and immersion users would expect from the full #DRIVECLUB experience. Users can drive the world’s most beautifully designed cars from different classes across a range of the most richly detailed real-world locations, alongside your teammates in Clubs where experience and rewards are shared. More and more attractive software titles will be added to “Instant Game Collection”.
Other main features PS Plus members can enjoy on PS4 include:
Online Multi Player
Users will have access to online play with other players via the network. Online Multi Play mode for PS4, with its socially integrated services, offers unique features only available on the system such as allowing users to seamlessly start playing game and join their online friends while spectating gameplay or enjoying cross game voice chat.
Automatic Patch Download
“Automatic patch download” feature will be further enhanced for the PS4™ system. The system will check for any game updates more frequently and will also automatically install the updates. With this feature, games will always be up-to-date, allowing users to play games immediately whenever they wish to play.
Cross-Platform PS Plus membership
One PS Plus membership accounts for PS4, PS3, and PS Vita. PS Plus service is cross-platform and is available on most PlayStation platforms; PS3 and PS Vita users with existing PS Plus memberships will be able to access the PS Plus service on PS4™ and those newly joined members for PS4 will be able to enjoy PS Plus service on PS3 and PS Vita.
