Sony on Thursday has confirmed PlayStation 4's firmware update which was previously codenamed "Kenshin." It was previously said that the firmware 3.0 update will bring new features, enhancements and user interface. The company also said that the new update will explore "new ways to connect with friends and players around the world, expanding the social capabilities of the system even further," a report from Gamespot said.
PlayStation Lifestyle Net has listed below the complete features of the PS4 firmware 3.0 update.
- Online storage capacity increase
- YouTube live
- Events
- Favorite Groups
- Communities
- Sharing video clips to Twitter
- Stickers
- Live from PlayStation
- Request to watch gameplay
"Firmware 3.0 has a few other features but are somewhat insignificant. Users will be able to upload up to 10 seconds of gameplay film straight to Twitter, and they can now pester their friends to start live streaming with the new request to watch add-on. Some of the old features are getting fresh-coated, but there is nothing to get excited about, just some quality of life developments here and there," iTech Post said.
In October, Sony has rolled out firmware 2.0., which introduced themes, Share Play and music playback to the popular console. Earlier this year, Sony has also unveiled the firmware 2.5 update, which allowed console owners to perform Remote Play streams.
"Without a doubt, the largest effect is how Sony will be managing cloud saves for PlayStation Plus subscribers. As a replacement for the small one gigabyte cloud storage space, 10 gigabytes is the new standard. Even enhanced, firmware 3.0 will give enhanced tools for checking how much cloud storage players are consuming and for changing which titles will go to spontaneously upload new saves," the report stated.
Console owners can read the full description of the features of PS4's "Kenshin" update on the official PlayStation blog.
