For PS4 users, capturing a perfect screenshot of a photo or a clip is quite laborious, to begin with. However, Sony noticed this inconvenience and arrived at creating an easier and simpler alternative for this one.
PS5 owners can now take advantage of the new auto-capture feature this time. The Japanese console maker announced its official launch on Wednesday, Feb. 23 in select countries around the world.
PS5 Auto-Capture Has Finally Come True
Sony announced that it will now finally roll out the PS5 game capture feature in some countries including Japan and the United States.
Last month, Tech Times spotted a report that Sony will release a PS5 screenshot feature that will allow users to "automatically" upload the saved media to their smartphones' camera roll.
This can be done through the official PlayStation App. However, the article suggested that it will only be available for US-based users. But, fans waited for this feature, yet it did not come in January.
This time, we officially saw Sony's announcement about the "gradual" roll-out for this much-awaited feature on Twitter.
"We're gradually rolling out the ability to share your PS5 game captures through the PS App in more regions! Americas are first up, with more countries next month," Sony tweeted this on Wednesday, Feb. 23 along with a link that will direct you to its site.
