Sony Interactive Entertainment officially announces the beginning of PlayStation 4’s beta testing signups for the console’s forthcoming firmware Update 4.0.
Similar to Sony’s decision in the past to allow a certain number ofPS4owners to test out the console’s, the company recently took to the PlayStation Blog to declare the system’s Update 4.0 will have a beta, and that it is scheduled to start soon. Fans can register to test the features of the forthcoming software overhaul before it goes live, but of course, there are some terms and conditions to take into account prior to doing so.
Unfortunately, Sony has yet to reveal exactly what the PS4’s Update 4.0 will contain in terms of potential new content and refinements, or when the public should even expect it to come out for the system. With that being the case, it’s safe to assume that the company will provide a clearer idea of the update’s availability and assets once the beta has run its course. Even so, several months ago,a survey hinted at the firmware Update 4.0’s features, offering a decent glimpse of what could come to pass, such as folders and the ability to re-pin apps on the home screen.
Should the PS4’s Update 4.0 be like firmware upgrades of the past, then fans definitely ought to be in for some interesting additions. Sony incorporated a lot ofnew features back in Aprilwith the 3.50 update, which brought about communities, a dedicated PlayStation Plus hub, the ability to post video clips to Twitter, and lots more. Eventually, fans discovered a lot of additional features that weren’t advertised, such as a USB music player, as well as support for 4 TB hard drives.
What kind of features would you like to see make their way into PS4’s Update 4.0? A completely different UI, perhaps? Or do you want something simple, likethe ability to change your username? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
