PS4: 8 Awesome New Things You Didn't Know You Could Do

4. Find Friends From Facebook To Add On PlayStation

Sony are trying to push home the idea that the PS4 is about "social gaming" so flawless integration with the likes of Facebook and Twitter can be expected. The next stage of this was confirmed yesterday, when the firmware update included a way of adding any Facebook friends with a PSN account straight to your Friends list. They also backed this up with a smattering of other features, including the ability to jump straight into a game from the News Feed, improved friend requests and a less complicated way of setting a party up. With the Facebook friend finder acting as a quick way of adding people, is this a sign that the gamer tag is dying? Obviously you'll still need one but it seems the days of trading obscure titles with mates is over, as you just add them from Facebook.
