Requirements and Limitations

Depending on the Share Play session type, PlayStation Plus may be required for one or both parties, as follows:

Screen Share – PlayStation Plus is not required for either party



Pass the Controller – PlayStation Plus is required for the host, but not for the guest

Playing Together – PlayStation Plus is required for both players

Share Play sessions last for a maximum of 60 minutes. Once the time limit is reached, the session will end. The host can restart the Share Play session so the visitor can continue to play. Not all PS4 titles support Share Play. Some developers may choose to disable this feature. Visitors do not earn trophies while playing a game through Share Play.

To get the best experience from Share Play, both the host and the visitor must each have a high-speed Internet connection. Generally, a minimum upstream and downstream connection speed of 2 Mbps is recommended, and 5 Mbps will give the best performance. You can view an estimate of your connection speed in (Settings) > [Network] > [Test Internet Connection]. You should also limit the use of other network-connected devices such as smartphones and streaming video devices.
