Sony engineer Neil Brown has announced that if users signs into a PlayStation 4 with a PlayStation ID, they will have access to their entire digital library. That is regardless of whether they’ve logged into their own console or someone else’s.
Brown said, “You can visit your friend’s house and you can log into your account and play any game from your digital library, which is good.”
He also noted that it’s possible to play games as they download, meaning that players can play the first part of a game at a friend’s house while the rest downloads.
This brings the PlayStation 4 one step closer to its rival the Xbox One in functionality. Microsoft announced in June that the Xbox One would have the similar ability because a digital copy of the game is held in the cloud. With Microsoft’s subsequent changes to Xbox One policies, it’s not immediately clear if that is still true. We may still see more changes in the functionality for both consoles before launch, especially when the changes are policy decisions that merely need a software update to implement.
