This means that you can sign into your account on as many PS4s as you like to use your content, but only one can be used at a time as your account can't be connected online on more than one console simultaneously. Once that PS4 is set as Primary for your account, you can play purchased content while offline, and also access that content on any other PSN accounts on that console.

You can subscribe through the PlayStation Store or by purchasing a code to redeem, and as well as unlocking online play, you also get two free PS4 games per month and GB of online storage for your PS4 saves.
Each month, subscribers receive two free PS Plus games which are yours to keep as long as you remain signed up to the service, but you need to claim these on your account within the month otherwise they'll revert back to their original price.

The Spotify app is also available on PS4 for streaming music. Once you're synced up, you can control your PS4 from the PS Vita and play games on the portable screen. As standard, the Share button on the PS4 controller is configured to access the Share menu with a short press, or hold to take a screenshot.
In this menu you can also choose to save screenshots in JPEG or PNG format under Screenshot Settings , and decide if your microphone audio should be included in video clips say, you wanted to record a voiceover through Audio Sharing Settings.

Once you've gone into your Capture Gallery, highlight a screenshot then press and hold the Share button and select the social media platform you want to post to. On the Share Screenshot section, choose the Change Selection option then tick up to 4 Twitter or 30 Facebook screenshots to add to your post, then simply add your comment and Share.
