PS3 Save Games Headed to the Cloud

Sony will soon introduce a new feature to the PlayStation 3 that will allow users to keep their save games stored in the cloud. That is to say, save games will be stored on Sony servers as opposed to your local hard drive. Kotaku reports that developers were recently informed of the impending introduction of the new functionality.

This is beneficial because it protects you against losing your save games in the case of having your hard drive break or PS3 stolen. It also potentially opens the door for you to be able to access your save games from any Internet-connected PS3.

The feature will not, however, be available to all users -- to take advantage of it, you'll need to be a PlayStation Plus member. Plus is Sony's premium PlayStation Network service that entitles subscribers to exclusive deals on PSN content, priority invitations to betas and demos, automatic downloads, and other perks.
