It also allows you to share your games and let your friends try them out before deciding on a purchase.<\/p>\n<p>For Share Play to work, you need to be a PlayStation Plus subscriber. It costs $9.99 a month or $59.99 for a whole year, saving you money in the long run. If you want to play a game together like\u00a0<em>Cuphead <\/em>online through Share Play (as it\u2019s traditionally an offline co-op experience only), you\u2019ll both need to be PlayStation Plus subscribers.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-741601 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Cuphead-PS4.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Cuphead can be played online through PlayStation's Share Play\" width=\"650\" height=\"365\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.igdb.com\/games\/cuphead\" data-credittext=\"Studio MDHR\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.igdb.com\/games\/cuphead\">Studio MDHR<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Before attempting to use Share Play, Sony recommends that you have at least a 2Mbps upload and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">download<\/a> speed. However, we recommend an even higher speed if you want a good streaming game experience with a friend.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, share play only gives you 60 minutes to share the game with your friend.

They can only watch the footage that the PS5 player is sharing in these cases. However, PS4 games on PS5 work just fine. We tried\u00a0<em>Dark Souls: Remastered,\u00a0<\/em>and it ran like butter. If you both have PS5 consoles, you can share almost every game\u2014depending on the limitations that the publisher has set for their titles.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019re in the game, you have 60 minutes to share the game with your friend.
