The question marks surrounding next-generation video game consoles’ used games and game-sharing policies had been driving gamers crazy over the past couple of months, but future PlayStation 4 owners can now sleep easy. During its press conference at the annual E3 video game expo on Monday evening, Sony confirmed that it will not put any restrictions or limitations in place regarding used games or game-sharing on the PlayStation 4. Used games can be sold and repurchased with no issue, and there are no crazy obstacles when it comes to sharing games, as there are on the Xbox One. In fact, Sony created the instructional video below, which shows us exactly how to share PS4 games, as a nice little jab at Microsoft.
