Share Play feature on PS4 caps guests to 720p

PlayStation 4's Share Play feature allows users to stream games from one console to another, but the guest's game will be capped at 720p resolution and will suffer a frame-rate hit.

Share Play is one of the major new features coming to PlayStation 4 with system update 2.00.

The feature allows any PlayStation 4 owner with a PS Plus subscription to invite any other PS4 owner to play a game. This can be used to play a local multiplayer games or help a friend by taking over a specific part of the game.

Eurogamer attended an event where Sony showed off the feature in more detail and demonstrated how it works. The site reports that a game of FIFA 15 was played by two players on different PS4 consoles, each connected to the internet through a wired connection.

The image quality was reportedly impressive with no lag. Despite that, the guest's game was capped at 720p resolution with some frame-rate drops.

We're going to undoubtedly hear more on how this feature fares in the real world once the everyone gets the update tomorrow.
