Streaming PC games has taken off like nobody's business in the last year or two, but it can be a little bit of a hassle to set up. Twitch and Sony Online Entertainment hope to start changing that this weekend when they enable built-in streaming in the PlanetSide 2 beta.
Broadcast options will appear in the free-to-play MMOFPS' menu sometime between now and Monday, giving users a one-click process to stream live gaming footage with options for frames per second, resolution, and bitrate. The feature might have a few kinks since it, too, is in beta, but it will be fully functional alongside PlanetSide 2 when the game launches on November 20.
Twitch says it's in talks with multiple developers and publishers to get the service integrated from the ground up in other games, as well.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar+.
