Ever wanted to see what the creator/designer/artist/director or whatever-other-role developer of your favourite game is playing? What's their latest Trophy, or which other games they play as potential inspiration or that might offer clues regarding future über-secret projects?
Well, now you can do that on your PS4, and the good part is you don't need to be friends with them. After yesterday's 3.10 system software update launched for Sony's console, anyone can now follow well known developers, as long as they've been officially "verified" by the PlayStation team. This way you'll be able to learn about their gaming habits directly from your What's New space on the PS4 dashboard.
If you want to follow some devs but don't know where to start, Reddit user IceBreak just posted a list with all the verified developers he's found so far, which is a neat reference point until Sony comes up with a proper filter. Here's the full list at the time of writing (via DualShockers):
