Sony will disable certain PlayStation Network features in
Europe and Australia on PlayStation 4 launch day, the company has announced.
Sony claims this temporary measure is due to the great
influx of players that's expected in the first few days after PS4 hits the
market. The European launch date is Friday, November 29.
"We want to make sure that
your online experience is
positive. To help ensure that this happens, we have made the decision to switch
off a couple of features for European customers on day one. These features will
then be switched back on a few days later, once the intensity of launch day
calms down," wrote Sony's Fred Dutton in a blog post.
The features in question are "What's new," which
lets you discover what your PS4 friends are doing, and the "Content
Information Screen," which lets you see friends' activity as well as info
about the title you're currently looking at.
All the crucial PS4 features will be available on day one,
including online gaming, trophies, friending, sharing videos and live
broadcasting of games, Sony says.
