How to use 'PS4's Share Play feature' [Video added]

[Oberon]

First,if you are the host you must have PS+ to be able use Share Play.The 'guest' player does not need PS+.
If the quest player also has PS+ though then both people can play multiplayer together without the need for the quest player to buy or download the game.

Second,its only for 1 hour session at a time but I believe you can start a session straight after finishing one.
The reason why its not unlimited is so the host doesnt leave their house or something and leave their machine on and let the guest player play all day long without paying for the title.

As you can see in the video, Share Play is accessed through the PS4's party menu. If you're the host, you'll see a new option for Share Play in the party menu, where you can select "Give Controller to Visitor." This will give the guest control of the game for up to an hour. The host will need to be a PlayStation Plus member to use this feature, but not the guest. If the guest is a PlayStation Plus member as well, you can use the Share Play feature to play a multiplayer game together without the guest having to own or download the game.

Fantastic! Now it feels like next-gen I'd even probably suggest a sticky?

I didnt want to STICK every guide that comes up here is all.
But if members think it's needed then sure.

Yeah not every guide needs a sticky, but I thought since this is a pretty big thing coming out, people would have lots of questions (myself included)
