Far Cry 4’s Keys to Kyrat was billed as a major exclusive to PS4 and PS3 users, enabling owners of the game to provide up to 10 of their friends with a 2-hour trial of the game’s online co-op without having to purchase the game themselves.
But now that PS4’s Share Play feature has launched, how exactly does the Keys to Kyrat differ? Sony has attempted to make things clear in a new blog…
Keys to Kyrat
Each key allows one of your PSN friends to download Far Cry 4 and play a trial of online co-op without needing to purchase the game. They can play a free two-hour trial of online co-op in Far Cry 4.
Share Play
Stream a game to a friend’s PS4 so they can watch you play, take over your controller, or play as the second player in games that feature local multiplayer (Far Cry 4 doesn’t support local multiplayer) even when they don’t own a copy of it. Spectate or play most PS4 games for up to one hour at a time.
For an accurate visual representation of Far Cry 4 you’ll want to get hold of a set of Keys to Kyrat, but you will be limited to co-op. To try out the single-player and competitive multiplayer you’ll need to connect to a Share Play session, but be aware than you’ll be limited to visuals dependent on you and your host’s internet connection, with a maximum output of 720p at 30 frames per second.
If you’re on PS3, Keys to Kyrat is your only option.
