PlayStation 5 update lets users share clips via PlayStation mobile app

Sony announced Wednesday that PlayStation 5 owners will now have greater control over how to share game captures. The console manufacturer announced that it is “gradually rolling out the ability to share your PS5 game captures through PS App in more regions! Americas are first up, with more countries next month.”

You can scroll through videos, view them and download them to your mobile device. The PS App also allows you to easily share them on social media. To use it, you don’t have to be a PlayStation Plus member. Sony clarified in a FAQ following the announcement that “your captures are stored for 14 days on SIE’s cloud servers in order to make them available to you via PlayStation App.”

The game capture allows players to take short clips or snap a picture of recent gameplay. You can share great moments of competition, like a series of fantastic headshots, and funny moments within a single player campaign with your friends.

The PS App currently only allows you to share your game clips in Japan and Canada. Now that the feature is on the way to more regions, with the Americas next in line, it’ll be easier for players to navigate and share their clips. It’s obviously not mandatory, but it’s a feature that’s certainly nice to have, especially if you just want to share a silly or cool moment from a game without jumping through hoops.

Sony will release details later as to which regions will gain access to this feature next, but it’ll be “gradually rolling out in the Americas” in the near future.
