It’s out in Japan and Canada now

If you’ve been longing for direct PS App screenshot/video access, now is the time. Well, soon, anyway. Sony is gradually rolling out the feature now in the United States: and it’s already available in Japan and Canada.

The short of it is that yourPS5, when linked with the PS App properly, will instantly beam screens and captures to your app. It essentially auto-uploads to the cloud, and will be around for 14 days from the point of creation on PS5. This functionality has been a part of the Xbox app for a while now, and in tandem with OneDrive, is extremely convenient!

There are a few restrictions for PS5, though, beyond the 14-day deletion window. To get easy instant access, videos need to be under three minutes long and not 4K quality. Screens also need to be taken directly from the create menu or the create button (naturally).

Here’s how you enable it and actually use it:
