What Is PS4 Share Play?

You may wonder what Share Play is. Share Play is a feature built-in PlayStation. You can share games via Share Play.  

With this feature, you can invite a visitor to view your screen for up to 1 hour a session. (one-hour restriction may be annoying, but the number of the times you can use Share Play is unlimited, so you can re-invite your friend after the hour as many times as you would like)

Furthermore, Share Play allows you to hand over your controller to a visitor so they can help you complete a game if you are stuck in it, even though the visitor does not need to own the game.

The biggest surprise is that you can invite your visitor to play a local multiplayer session over the interface even if the game does not support online multiplayer.
