Are you a bit forgetful? Do you get carried away with your games? Well, Sony’s set up a cheeky option which will ensure you don’t miss a single second of its PlayStation 5 reveal event – by Auto-Joining you to the livestream. You’ll find The Future of Gaming livestream under the Events tab on the PlayStation 4’s main menu. Select it and then toggle on the Auto-Join button to ensure that, like Aerosmith, you don’t miss a thing.
Should you enable it, the feature will power up your console if it’s in Rest Mode or toggle out of your current game session. Of course, you could plan ahead and make sure you’re hitting up Push Square’s homepage from around 1PM PDT / 9PM BST, as we’ll have full coverage of the livestream here, too. It’s up to you.

Wa Hey!
That'll save a lot of fafffing about
Thanks, this explains the tweet.
So, what does it do AFTER turning on your PS4? Does it open up YouTube and play it there or is there some other livestream app that will automatically start?
PS must be so excited not having to stay awake until 3AM.😀
@rjejr I believe it opens up the Twitch app, instead of YouTube
@rjejr Yeah it boots the Twitch video.
This is useful and I wish fighting games would do it for all the streamed events...
Does anyone know, if it works with Remote Play?
@Feena I think you could do it if an event is created for it in the events tab, 🤷♂️ For sure though
@djlard you should just need to connect your remote play device once the PS4 loads into the app I think.
@MarcG420 I know, but will it stream live event? Lots of video content doesn't support Remote Play (like youtube)
Do you need to have the Twitch app installed on your PS4, or will it just go to PlayStation's Twitch channel in the system's web browser?
2hrs nice i hope they show more gameplay and less talk about ears 😅
I'll just wait for the highlights, this stuff can get real boring sometimes. I care about the games, not the console.
@djlard of that I’m less sure, I’ve not used it to watch twitch and with a quick search I couldn’t get an answer. So maybe 🤷♂️
I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to watch this. TV or laptop...
I wish I could watch this, but adulting is a higher priority and I'm stuck at work.
Nice Thank You..
I'm also at work. Looks that Youtube on my mobile is the only option.
Oh wow, I did not know I could do this.
Thanks for the tip!
@TrueAssassin86x I just remembered that it won't be in 4K, so no point in watching it on the TV.
@get2sammyb @rjejr Thanks, figured that out when I signed up. Can't recall my Twitch sign in for the life of me but I'm hoping it will still play. Also updated to 7.51, which once again scared the bejeebus out of me when that "building database" screen appeared. Only took about 3 seconds though, so phew.
@Octane The point to watching it on the TV is:
Bigger screen
More comfortable seat
5.1 surround
More room for 3 people to view it w/o squishing
And it's easier to do the Live chat on my tablet that way.
Just remembered I never finished HZD, hope there aren't spoilers.
Got my pork scratchings and am ready to go! Will be watching through my tv and not my ps4 though as my tv is a little bit quicker on that side of things.
@rjejr Bigger screen, but the laptop is closer, so it's relatively bigger. Resolution is the same. And I've got the house for myself tonight, so I don't have to worry about anyone else bugging me!
I got that invite this morning,so hyped for this event ! Im going to the event just for the game reveals and possibly a ratchet and clank collection remastered for the ps4 ! Still expecting that announcement from sony! i Would be disappointed if Horizon Zero Dawn 2 becomes a ps5 only title ! Ive played the game many times and loved it!
Im also expecting a ps4 backwards compatibility feature announcement bc back a few months ago when sony announced backwards compatibility for the ps5,they said something about the ps4 being backwards compatibility and thats my #1 favourite to use! I Would be disappointed if we don't get that announcement tonight!
Who else agrees that the ps4 should still gets backwards compatibility with ps3 and ps2 discs but with 4k compatibility?
@Ken_Kaniff @djlard @Arugula I took Thursday off just to watch the PS5 reveal event live.
In fairness though, I did have alot of Vacation built up and was going unused.
@Octane My son has a 32" tv in his room but does everything besides Wii - hey don't laugh it has some good games - on his 24" monitor, it just works for him, so I get it. I'll sometimes watch a vid on my PC screen if it's going to be short and I don't care that much, but anything over say 20 minutes I'm sitting on the couch w/ my feet up. Reclining sofas were a great invention.
