How many times have you played something amazing likeHorizon Forbidden Weston yourPS5and thought “I wish my friends could see this?” And how many times have you decided not to bother because sharing your PS5 grabs or videos is a bit of a pain? You and me both. So it’s great to see thatSonyis now officially launching a new feature that makes itwayeasier to share your shots.

The new feature enables you to automatically upload PS5 screenshots and videos to thePlayStationMobile app oniPhoneorAndroid phones, which like me you probably installed ages ago and forgot all about. But it’s worth rediscovering, because you’ll now be able to share your screenshots and short videos in any iOS apps so much more easily. So the next time you see a sunset like the one below, you can share it pretty much instantly. Or at least, you can if you live in the right place.

If this news seems familiar, it’s becausewe already reported on the feature first appearing for certain software testers in certain countries. But Sony hadn’t officially said what was going on… until now.

Sony has nowofficially announced its plans in a tweet. The company isn’t going global with it immediately: the new feature is currently available in Canada and Japan, and it’ll be rolling out to the “Americas” first, with more countries following during March.

You’ll need to have the latest version of the PlayStation app, but you don’t need to have a PlayStation Plus subscription. We’d link to the appropriate page on Sony’s PlayStation blog for more details, but sadly the PlayStation Twitter post we linked to above includes a broken link.

I’m glad this feature is coming to the PS5 because we’re starting to see some really incredible eye candy that’s just begging to be shared. I’m playing the aforementioned Horizon just now and it’s consistently jaw-dropping in its beauty - and in ourElden Ring reviewwe’ve already noted how much you’ll want to show off the incredible monster designs, and your last-gasp defeating of them. Thegames coming to PS5 in 2022look amazing, and being able to share the best visuals is half the fun.
