[h=1]PlayStation Will Get Twitch TV Streaming Too[/h]
Announced during Sony's press conference at Gamescom, Twitch will be coming to the PlayStation 4. It will utilize the share button on the Dual Shock 4 controller, allowing players to broadcast their game session with a touch of a button. The app will be available on the next-gen console this fall and it will be available for free with no PS+ subscription required.
If you prefer to spectate rather than livestream your gameplay, you'll be able to do just that as well. According to the announcement, a viewer app will be available on the console.
"PlayStation has a long history of delivering some of the best gaming experiences in the industry and we're excited to have Twitch available on a console as heavily anticipated as PS4," Twitch CEO Emmett Shear said in a press release. "Through this partnership we are paving the way for every PS4 gamer to become both a broadcaster and an avid spectator of amazing content."
"Social capabilities are an integral part of PS4, so Twitch will play an important role in delivering a compelling connected experience to PlayStation fans," said Sony's Shuhei Yoshida. "Twitch's gamer-focused community combined with our strong portfolio of innovative PS4 titles, will help define next generation gameplay and community engagement."
So it looks like Xbox One won't be the only console getting all the Twitch fun. Does this change your next-gen plans now that you'll be able to stream directly to Twitch TV on the PlayStation 4?
