Unlike the Xbox One, which locks the console’s Game DVR features behind a Xbox Live Gold subscription, the PS4 won’t require users to have a PlayStation Plus subscription to use the console’s DVR features. The news was confirmed by a tweet from Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida in response to a question from @jonboi204.

New PlayStation Plus content is coming to the PlayStation Store in North America today, including Jet Set Radio (PS3), which will be added to the Instant Game Collection.

Sony has released more details on PlayStation Plus for the PlayStation 4, detailing new features for subscribers, as well as what will be available to all PS4 owners. As mentioned at E3 2013, owners will need to have a PlayStation Plus subscription to play online multiplayer games, but the social features of the PS4 and auto-updates will sit outside of PlayStation Plus.
