No More PS4 Paper Manuals Thanks To Docs

Pro Tips for New and Seasoned PlayStation 4 Owners

December 29th, 2014 By Maya Mayfield

We hope you have all been enjoying this Christmas holiday Season? As we eagerly await the dawn of a New Year, we would first like to welcome those new to PlayStation's Community as Sony's latest report indicates even more PS4 systems have been sold this Christmas holiday than ever before.

One useful tip for new console owners while playing games is the Docs feature for PlayStation. With the increase in digital sales, publishers are slowly doing away with physical manual covers, uploading game info and control instruction guides instead.

With the help of Docs for PlayStation you have everything you need to access vital info about the game you are playing either from your PlayStation 4, PS3, PS Vita or smartpoines, tables and desktops.

Docs is one of the many ways Sony are making life easier for you. The feature launched last year November alongside the PS4 and has since replaced printed instruction manuals for 1st party PlayStation games and select 3rd party games.  To access Docs, just head over to a games live tile and press down after you have highlighted the title on the PS4 dynamic menu.

Once selected you will find dozens of helpful guides, tutorials, maps and information on the latest DLC as well as quick control pad reference guides. This info can also be easily located via your smartphone, table or computer optimized for which ever device you use.

There are some great new features coming to Docs in 2015, like art books, trophy hunter guides, strategy tips and more so make sure you stay tuned for that. Meanwhile why not tell us what else you would like to see on Docs for PlayStation? Leave us your thoughts and comments below.
