Considering the strides that it’s made to appease gamers in other areas, you didn’t think that Sony was going to go and region lock the PlayStation 4, did you? Good, because it’s not. Writing on Twitter overnight, a nonchalant Shuhei Yoshida revealed that the next generation console will be “region free”.

However, it’s unclear if the platform will be territory agnostic in the same way as the PlayStation 3 or the PlayStation Vita. Both of the existing systems allow you to play physical releases from any region, but the handheld forces you to stick to a single territory for digital purchases. We're sure that Sony will clarify this over the coming weeks. Here's hoping that it adopts the PS3's format.
