(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); PlayStation 4 gamers may soon be able to pre-load titles onto their console before the game is released, so they can play it the second launch day rolls around.

According to Infamous: Second Son developer Sucker Punch on Twitter, the functionality is due to arrive in North America from April. No word has been given about whether other territories will see it, but presumably that'll be soon.

Though we've yet to get any official word about this from Sony, we do know a big patch is on the way next month that's set to include video editing, a HDCP off option and an upgrade in Twitch broadcasting quality.

The telling part of yesterday's update announcement was the final sentence, which promised, "there’s a lot more coming in this update as well," so it's very possible that pre-loading is going to be one of these currently unannounced features.

I just want to be able to use an Elgato tbh... The quicker this comes out the better! Never wanted to buy a splitter, would rather wait for this.

I assume this only applies to games you preorder on PSN.

Which for me makes this way less eventful. I like physical copies anyway do to collector's editions and having a Blu Ray/PS4 library in my entertainment system. So it's a nice idea but meh.

It really surprises me that they haven't added this feature yet, they have it all setup on the PS3 and such. Great useful tool though.

The one thing I hate so damn much is how I have to wait until 3AM to play the games. It is so stupid, just update it at midnight EST. :(

Sweet, would help a lot when all you wanna do is play a game!

I actually like installing games, I know some people who hate it but you can tell how much better the game runs.
