It is currently spreading around the web that a PS+ subscription will be required in order for you to make use of the PS4 and Vita’s Remote Play features, which seems like a massive drawback since it’s such a core feature.

That is not the case however – the original comment asks whether PlayStation Plus will be required for playing PS4 games online on the Vita, with Playstation Blog Manager Fred Dutton confirming that, quite obviously, you would need PS+ for that, as all online multiplayer games on PS4 require a subscription to the service.

He also confirms that online gaming on the Vita – as with the upcoming Killzone: Mercenary – will remain outside of the PS+ paywall even after the PS4’s release, as it always has.

Seems like a bit of a misread then, we just thought it would be best to make a post in order to clear up any confusion.
