As revealed already, Sony will be providing a free, full version of DriveClub (with some limitations of course) for PlayStation Plus member. However, Sony Computer Entertainment UK boss Fergal Gara revealed that there will be other benefits to being a PS Plus member, including Cross Game Chat.

Speaking to Official PlayStation Magazine UK, Gara stated that, “I suppose wasn’t delivered upon for PS3. It became technology that would be difficult to place on the architecture we had in place. It was one to fix for PlayStation 4, and it is fixed. It’s there”.

He also revealed that moving to a paid model has allowed Sony to provide “better performance and better reliability” its network. “The social features you’ve seen demonstrated or more of a world-class network”. That “higher performance network” will be another benefit for those who invest in PS Plus.

The PlayStation 4 is currently slated to release this Holiday season for North America and Europe.

Sony is being rather giving, heading into its holiday launch for the PS4. Besides revamping their controller, introducing Cloud services, supporting indie games like Jonathan Blow’s The Witness and much more, the company had detailed in a press release following the reveal of the console that it would receiving Cross Game Chat.

On the second page of the press release reads the line, “Users can connect their Facebook account with Sony Entertainment
Network account. Through PS4, users are able to deepen their connections through co-op play or ‘cross-game chat’.”

Considering that it was one of the most requested features in the 6+ year long cycle of the PS3, and one of the few things the Xbox 360 had that Sony’s console didn’t, it’s good to see it finally arrive for the next generation.

Now the question remains: With all these long-time requested features and time-honed new ones, how much will the PlayStation 4 retail for? We’ll find out in the coming months.
