PS4's Major 2.0 Update Arrives October 28th

[Oberon]

System update v2.0 will arive October 28th Sony announced today.

This is a major update for the system--so much so that Sony has apparently decided to give it a non-numerical name, Masamune. We first heard about this update back in August, and just recently learned about more of what it includes.

Among the highlights are YouTube sharing, Share Play (allowing a remote PS4 owner to play games with you as if they were in the room), themes, and a USB music player that effectively enables custom soundtracks.

Other small improvements are also in store, including refining the home screen. Although not changed to the degree many would like, the home screen will now display the 15 most-used games and apps, with the remainder of the software installed on your system being confined to the Library section. Also new is a way to add PlayStation Plus games to your account without initiating a download and a "players you may know" area in the What's New section.

'Share Play' does sound very interesting I think.
Just a clever way of demoing games I think for more sales.

See your PSN friend playing 'Evil Within' and think hmm,no demo on PSN store,I wonder if (>>insert your PSN friends name here<<) will let me try it out and thus possibly giving Sony etc another game sale should you like it enough.

Yep,clever indeed.:grin

edit: Hmm,wonder how well this will work with so many people with sub par internet speeds,me included.

Can't wait to apply my own themes. This is something i've been waiting for since i got my ps4. I think they could have give in us a better heads up about the update instead of a couple days before.
