PS3 Looking to Get Cloud Saving in Firmware 3.60

Posted on 30. Jan, 2011 by in News, Rumours

First off, I’m marking this as a rumour but according to a recent report from Kotaku, unnamed sources in the game development community have received notifications from Sony telling of a feature which will be incorporated into PS3 firmware update 3.60: Cloud storage for saved games. According to the report, the feature called “Online Saving” will give developers the opportunity to let players set up their save files on a remote server, preserving the precious space on their hard drives, and allowing players to access save data from multiple consoles.

These developers also reportedly explained that the feature will only be made available to PlayStation Plus subscribers. Interesting though is that remote storage was one of the rumoured features of PlayStation Plus before its reveal, and there was also that Sony trademark for “PS Cloud” back in 2009.

I suggested this in my recent freak out article,  5 Things PS3 Owners Have Gotten Used to, That They Shouldn’t Have, where I offered it as a possible solution to the problem that is the copyrighted save games.
