At this year’s Gamescom press conference, we announced that Online Game Save Storage will be upgraded to 1GB for PlayStation Plus members, and I’m happy to report that the increase will be available soon with PS3 system software update (v4.25)!
To sign up for PlayStation Plus, go to PlayStation Store on your PS3, or click here.
After you’ve installed the update, simply go to the Saved Data Utility under the Game column of the XMB. From there you can access the Online Storage folder and find any existing game saves already uploaded, as well as the increase in space to 1GB. So set your automatic download to upload every game save for every compatible game you play and enjoy the additional breathing room. You can also continue to use this feature to selectively upload game saves you specify.
Stay tuned to PlayStation.Blog for the latest info on future updates.
@49 i agree. Wish they were more clear on the release of the new software update. I’m really hoping for it to hit tonight but that would probably be unlikely.
Nice update! Btw will there ever be a nickname feature? A lot of people from youtube add me, and it’d be easier to nickname their youtube username or an easier name that i can remember, otherwise i forget who they are
can us poor people get 10 mb? That be cool
Thanx sony!!!!!!
@53 lol. Good luck getting much of anything on there with only 10MB. Though i do think they should give the old 150MB storage to regular Psn members.
Was about time, thanks!! ^_^
I had to delete contless saves from my PS+ account when I sent my ps3 to repair. I was lacking a lot of space. It’s a good thing it’s now 1GB.
^_^
Really hope this update has some minor fixes as well I can’t download LA Noire for a month now….
I’m glad to see this should hopefully be a real ‘soon’ for once.
Game save space and it’s upgrade are the only reason I haven’t dropped plus.
3 Months with only 1 game I didn’t own/wanted to play on the New plus, it would have been cheaper to just buy the game (10$~).
But I worry enough about PS3s dying that the cloud space is too hard to give up even at 5/6 bucks a month, which is odd when you consider any free email account tends to have multiple GB of cloud for free…
Glad to see it looks like it’s still on pace to come out september (as the original post said) and not just ‘sometime later this year’, a comment people like Morgan have been making.
Morgan seems like a good guy but also is the most uninformed member of the PS staff it feels like. Or he chooses to hide info. That and since he ‘passes along’ all our concerns, either his word has no weight, or his bosses just don’t care about plus users anymore.
=) I love this comment. You have to remember that naturally, I couldn’t reveal anything that hasn’t been announced yet. But everyone here cares quite a bit about Plus though and hears the community loud and clear; evidenced by the increase in PS Plus Online Storage in fact!
