PlayStation 4 3.00 update rolls out tomorrow

The much-awaited update is almost here

The latest system update for the PlayStation 4 will launch tomorrow. The update which was previously codenamed “Kenshin” will become a mandatory update, So it’s better to plan your gaming schedule from now itself. This update brings a numerous amount of features including the highly awaited “Youtube LiveStreaming”.

Tons of social features have been added such as “Events” app which gives you an overview of activities taking place in the games you play the most. You can now also join various communities based around shared games and genre. Another major feature is “Favorite Groups” which allows you to easily chat and interact with players you play most often with.

Apart from these major social features, the update will also bring the ability to store up to 10GB save data in the online storage. There will also be a specific column on your XMB especially for Playstation Plus which lets you easily be up to date with all the free games coming to the PS Plus. Last but certainly not the least, is the ability to Livestream directly to youtube.

A beta was launched one month back to make sure that the system update is released without any hiccups. Selected users were given a chance to test how the system update performs.

The last few updates were minor additions just to stabilize the system. The last major update was version 2.50 which included features such as the putting the console on rest mode, uploading videos onto Dailymotion, 60fps share play etc. The major feature of the update was related to trophies such as the ability to delete trophies with 0% completion, ability to share screenshot of trophy along with the screenshot of the game at time the trophy was unlocked.

The long awaited feature “Changing the PSN ID” is still lost in the woods. We can only expect SONY to comment on that soon enough.
