Report: The Next PlayStation Will Record And Share Gameplay

In the wake of news that Sony will announce the next PlayStation on February 20, rumours and reports are starting to circulate as journalists report everything they have learned about the PlayStation 4, code-named Orbis.

Here’s an interesting report from Edge, who says the PS4 will be out later this year for the US and Japan (and in early 2014 for Europe). The report also says the PS4’s controller comes with a touchpad, where the start and select buttons should be, and that there’s a new “Share” button, which will let you share screenshots and videos online.

This matches up with much of what we reported a few weeks ago about the PS4. We knew there would be a Share button, but we didn’t know what it would do. This new report helps shed some light on that.

According to Edge, the PS4 will inherently record and save “the most recent 15 minutes of onscreen action”, which you can then edit and share using the console’s sharing function. Edge also says Orbis will be more powerful than Microsoft’s next console, codenamed Durango, at least on paper.
