Sony has just announced the PlayStation Plus games lineup for February, and it's a pretty strong month all things considered. However, that wasn't the only thing the platform holder had to say about its premium service today -- it's also revealed a positive change to its cloud storage offering.
Up to now, PS Plus members have been able to upload their save data to the cloud, allowing them to continue their progress on another system after logging in. While it's a convenient feature, the 10GB limit now feels a little on the shallow side. Handily, Sony has just announced that, from "early February", the amount of cloud storage space for members is increasing to 100GB -- ten times the current amount.
This could be part of Sony's plans to make changes to the service once PS3 and Vita games are no longer offered each month. Whatever the case, it's good news, and should mean you have plenty of space in the cloud for your saves moving forward. Are you happy with this change to the PS Plus cloud storage?

It may be strange for somebody to say they appreciate this but I do. Not quite at 10 gigs yet but getting close.
I still think that PS3 and Vita online will be turned off in the next year or 2 to free up network activities for PS4 and 5, I can also see cloud storage been the only thing available on PS3 in the future. It's good to see them expand the storage for cloud because some or if not most saves are now hitting the 100mb mark or more
wow that's alot (for me atleast).
must be 1 of the first ps5 era store upgrades they are bringing.
and if they are willing to do this then we might be getting a big hard drive in the ps5 aswell.
Nice. Definitely part about what has been said anout sony investing into PSN.
Finally, I'm at 98 % or so.
@WebHead i think the next upgrades will be psn name changes and a more stable connection.
maybe a better ban system aswell to avoid innocent bans.
Yeah this is going to come in handy!
Sometimes ps4 games save files have big files (100mb+) so 100gb storage is nice
Wow, that’s quite a big jump. Welcome though 👍
Your $$$ at work, folks. A sure sign that game saves and game file sizes on PS5 are going to be colossal. All to be expected in the lead up to the inevitable all-digital future, I guess.
So it's been all relatively good news on the PlayStation front today, which is great. From past experience, I'm kinda expecting the not-so-good news in a day or two.
this is great news mine is full so very happy about this
I'm using 1% of storage at 10gb so not that arsed about this, but it's obviously beneficial for others so that's good.
I don't know what storage I have used and certainly am not bothered about having my game saves in the cloud to use on another console but any increase is a positive thing.
Its better to have and not need than need and not have....
@Gamer83 I'm roughly 83% full, thought I had to start deleting saves and user profiles. Apparently not anymore thanks to Sony!
I don't believe I am any where close to filling it, but I am glad they increased the storage amount.
Damn this is pretty impressive.
Hopefully they're working hard on PSN name changes next, sooner they get released I can finally stop see people fussing about it.
