PlayStation 4: Update 2.0 Coming Tuesday

This major update will add new features and enhancements to your console.

Tomorrow brings Update 2.0: Masamine for the PlayStation 4. The update promises new "forward-looking" features, addresses popular fan requests and will bring some enhancements to your PS4 experience. Highlights include:

  • Share Play: PlayStation 4 will create an online local co-op experience by allowing you to invite a friend to join your game — even when they don’t own a copy of it. PlayStation Plus membership is required for certain features.
  • YouTube: Upload your gameplay highlights directly from PS4 to YouTube by clicking the “SHARE” button on DualShock 4. In addition, a YouTube app for PS4 will be available to download from the PlayStation Store.
  • Themes & Colors: Personalize your home screen background with select themes and colors. Sony is giving away a theme for Destiny and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on Tuesday as a thank you to fans.
  • Live Broadcasting Enhancements: Search filters, archived broadcast support and more have been added to Live from PlayStation
  • Content Area & Library: Find and access your content quicker with a redesigned Content Area and improved filter and sort functions for the PS4 Library
  • USB Music Player: Insert USB memory with music in your PS4 and start playing your favorite tunes in the background. Files cannot be copied to your PS4 and the player cannot be used at the same time as Music Unlimited.
  • What’s New: The activity feed will be more relevant and timely for users, What's New will add Friends of Friends suggestions and Live Broadcasting updates from your friends at the top of your feed.

Share your feedback about the update over on the PlayStation blog!
