PS4 firmware update 2.0 out next week

4.6

Sony has confirmed that the significant PS4 firmware update, version 2.0, will be released on October 28.

Dubbed the 'Masamune' update, the patch will add the long-awaited Share Play feature, which allows players to pass control of their game to another PS4 owner remotely via the internet.

The anticipated feature was first announced during the PS4 unveiling in February 2013, but missed the PS4 launch and was yet to surface on the console.

"Let's go from sitting back and watching friends play to actually jumping into games remotely and sharing great experiences together in real time," said Sony in an official announcement.

The PS4 firmware 2.0 update will also add video upload support for YouTube, along with "dedicated app support". The PS4's activity board, 'What's New', will also be revised.

The system will also get themes, a USB music player, much improved live broadcasting abilities, and a new way of finding friends on PS4.

The home menu will also see improvements. More details on the update can be found through here, along with a preview trailer.

TDK_Jr PS4 officially has better graphics than the one.

Why does it even matter honestly. Games are games. If it's fun that's all that matters.

I've been looking forward to this for ages. It gets very boring having the blue background all the time so it should be good to change it up.

USB music player is where it's at. A bit confused on why that wasn't there since launch.
