Like many Japanese games, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD, 2.5 HD, and 2.8 HD Prologue, which collectively bring the whole franchise so far to the PlayStation 4, have blocked the use of the Share button during gameplay for most part. You can, of course, still trade screenshots—but use of it to record or stream gameplay footage has been restricted.

Come October 25, and that will change. A new update for each of these games will enable you to be able to use the Share button unfettered, meaning you can stream, record, and snap away at last to your heart’s content. This will, in fact, be just in time for the upcoming Kingdom Hearts: The Story So Far collection for the PS4, which gathers all the collections into one consolidated piece—and it is entirely possible this new update has something to do with its release. At the very least I do hope the Share button will be unlocked in that release too. You can never be sure with how Japanese companies handle game sharing, after all.

Now, up next, I would really appreciate it if Persona 5 and Danganronpa V3 would unblock their sharing functions, too…

KINGDOM HEARTSⅢに向けて更に楽しさを共有して頂く為に明日10月25日15時頃（日本時間）『1.5』『2.5』『2.8』のシェア機能全解除のパッチを配信します（動画作品含む）稀にサイト側のシステム上アーカイブ等規制に掛かる可能性がありますがその際は弊社サポートセンターまで御連絡下さい＠野村 #_KH
