Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is blocked from PS4 Share Play because Activision has not had time to fully evaluate the performance of the feature introduced with the recent PS4 firmware 2.0.
“Delivering a great gaming experience for fans is our top priority,” an Activision spokesperson told Polygon. “We’re focused on launching Advanced Warfare and ensuring that people have a great time playing it, which our fans seem to be.
“Share Play is a new feature that was introduced as part of the recent PS4 firmware 2.00 update. Our engineers didn’t have access to it before it launched, so we haven’t had a chance to evaluate it to see how it will impact the experience across all modes of play. Of course we wouldn’t include a feature in our game without having the chance to test it. Once we’ve fully analysed its performance, we’ll determine how to support it going forward.”
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is out now.
Given the Call of Duty experience is all about 60 frames per second Activision may be concerned that the 30 frames limit on Share Play will result in a poor game experience. Cynics may also argue that the publisher doesn’t want its tentpole release shared amongst friends in a move that could prevent them from buying a copy for themselves.
