(Pocket-lint) — The PlayStation 5 has been quietly getting a small update for users recently, in particular those in North America, to let them more easily share clips and screenshots they've captured on the console with their friends.
The new system lets you enable auto-uploads to the PS App, Sony's companion app for its consoles, where your captures will stay for 14 days while you decide how you want to use them, if at all.
Previously, the only ways to get captures off your console were to plug in a USB drive to transfer them, or to upload them directly to a social media channel like Twitter or YouTube. A few workarounds had been found, but this new way is far simpler.
To enable it, follow the steps below (some of which may not work in your region yet, so you may need some patience).
Steelseries is one of the original gaming brands, and its new series of videos highlights just how much it's done.
The feature shouldn't require a system update to become activated, so if you're not currently able to use it (which is the case for us here in the UK at the moment), you might just have to try again soon.
