Sony engineer reveals gamers can sign into PSN account and access complete digital library on any system.

The PlayStation 4 will allow users to sign into their PlayStation Network account and access their complete digital library on any system, Sony engineer Neil Brown said today at Develop.

"You can visit your friend's house you can log into your account and play any game from your digital library, which is good," Brown said, as reported by PlayStation Magazine U.K..

Game downloads at a friend's house won't take all day, Brown explained. By leveraging the PS4's "Play As You Download" feature, gamers can play "at least the first section" of a game right away, while the rest of the title is downloaded in the background.

"This makes a digital library a practical option in the real world," Brown said.

Competitor Microsoft announced a similar feature in June, saying gamers can play any of their games from any Xbox One thanks to the digital copy being stored in the cloud.

"So, for example, while you are logged in at your friend“s house, you can play your games," Microsoft said at the time.

It is unclear if this policy has been amended following Microsoft's major policy reversal last month. A Microsoft representative was not immediately available to comment.
