    A new feature of Sony, which allows you to run digital versions of games before they are fully downloaded to the hard disk of the console. The amount of data that needs to be downloaded before this function becomes available depends on the game. For example, in the case of “Killzone: Captured Twilight” - this is 7.5 gigabytes of a total size of 39.7 gigabytes, that is, slightly less than 20%. The rest of the content will be downloaded directly during the game, or in standby mode - at the request of the player.

    Multi-input

    at the same time, four players will be able to play on the same PlayStation 4 console, each of whom can use their own account, save and receive trophies.

    Voice chat "Tusovka"

    using the headset that comes with the PlayStation 4, up to eight players can create a shared group chat. where they will communicate, playing various games and using various applications. "Party" on the PlayStation Vita and the PlayStation 4 will be fully compatible.

    Face and voice recognition

    owners of the PlayStation camera will be able to register their face on the PlayStation 4 system, and then log in to their account through face recognition, instead of the DualShock 4 controller. In addition, using a microphone or a Mono Head device (headset with one ear), users can navigate through the main console menu, giving the appropriate voice commands. In this way, it will be possible, for example, to start games or turn off the PlayStation 4, and much more.

    Background music player

    Now players will be able to listen to their favorite music right during the game, using the cloud service Music Unlimited. Also, while listening to music will be available voice chat.

    Online multiplayer game

    PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to play online games with other players. The service will allow you to easily connect to the available matches in various ways, including during the live broadcast of the gameplay, or through the "Tusovka" - group voice chat.

    DVD and Blu-ray Disc Player

    Now users can not only play on the PlayStation 4, but also view the contents of DVD and Blu-ray discs. The first time you use this function, you must connect to the Internet and activate it.


Downloading the latest firmware version

Online Update
Use the network upgrade feature of the PS4 system to upgrade your system.

To upgrade you need:
  • PS4 system;
  • Internet connection (wired or wireless).
Before using the network update feature, you must configure your PS4 system to connect to the Internet. For details, see the PS4 system user guide.

On the function screen, select (Settings)>[System Software Update]. The system will automatically check for a new version of the system software on the Internet. If there is a new update file, it will be downloaded to your system. After the download is complete, a notification appears in the upper left corner of the screen. Select (Notifications)>[Download] on the function screen and follow the instructions to complete the installation.
Upgrade by computer
This update method will help you upgrade your PS4 system, which is not connected to the Internet. Download the update file to your computer, then save it to a USB drive. Copy the saved file to the PS4 system memory to update the system software.

To perform the standard update procedure, follow these steps.

To upgrade you need:
  • PS4 system;
  • computer with internet connection;
  • USB drive, such as a USB flash drive. (* Approximately 320 MB of free space is required.) (The file system of the USB flash drive must be FAT32 or exFAT.NTFS is not supported! )
Stages of ordination:
  1. Create a folder to save the file with the update on the USB drive.
  2. Connect the drive to the computer and create a folder on it called “PS4”. Inside this folder, create an “UPDATE” folder.
  3. Download the update file and save it in the “UPDATE” folder created in the previous step.
  4. Save the file as “PS4UPDATE.PUP”.
  5. Now move the entire PS4 folder to the root folder of the USB drive.
  6. Connect the USB drive to the PS4 system and select on-screen features (Settings)>[System Software Update].
  7. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update.
If the PS4 system does not recognize the update file, check that the folder and file names are correct. Folder and file names must use uppercase characters in single-byte encoding.
New install system software.When replacing the hard drive
This procedure is designed to initialize the PS4 system and perform a new installation of the system software — this is required in cases such as, for example, after replacing the hard disk.

Be careful when using the update file for a new installation. All users and all data will be deleted.

To upgrade you need:
  • PS4 system;
  • computer with internet connection;
  • USB drive, such as a USB flash drive. (* Approximately 900 MB of free space is required.) (The file system of the USB flash drive must be FAT32 or exFAT.[NTFS is not supported!] )
Stages of ordination:
  1. Create a folder to save the file with the update on the USB drive.
  2. Connect the drive to the computer and create a folder on it called “PS4”. Inside this folder, create an “UPDATE” folder.
  3. Download the update file and save it in the “UPDATE” folder created in the previous step.
  4. Save the file as “PS4UPDATE.PUP”.
  5. Turn off the PS4 system.
  6. Make sure the power light is off. If it is orange, touch the power button on the PS4 system and hold your finger for at least seven seconds (until the second beep).
  7. Connect a USB flash drive with the update file to the PS4 system, then press and hold the power button for at least seven seconds. The PS4 system will start up in safe mode.
  8. Select [Initialize PS4 System (Reinstall System Software)].
  9. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update.
If the PS4 system does not recognize the update file, check that the folder and file names are correct. Folder and file names must use uppercase characters in single-byte encoding.


Please, have patience and conscience - do not arrange from the catalog of firmware a bobbin on the topic "and when will it be released?" or "litsuha expensive!" ... and so everyone knows ... For a discussion of hacking, custom, and other "untested methods" - Day RO.



Downgrade firmware is not possible. Even when replacing the HDD.

And you hear something about reading a flash drive? Does Sony further add a media center to watch movies or not?



Rep: (204)
And you hear something about reading a flash drive?

You can record screenshots and videos from PS4 on the USB flash drive. About the imminent addition of a media center from a flash drive - it is unlikely.

* koresh11,
It is not known when the next firmware will appear.



Rep: (204)
Firmware 1.74 was released quite recently, there are no new functions, only fixes in the system operation. If you believe Sony's rumors are preparing an updated interface and a bunch of new features, when it comes out is not known, but it is unlikely to be firmware 1.75 - 1.79.



Rep: (55)
* VladimirNight,
rumors say that it will be 1.8 after Gamescom in August.



Rep: (55)
Well, Sonyannouncedabout 1.75. I think many will probably like it:

Interface change in firmware 1.80 will be or after it.



Rep: (55)
List of changes 1.75:

  • Added the ability to play Blu-ray 3D.
  • Improved sound quality when playing 1.5x videos from Blu-ray and DVDs.
  • System notifications that previously appeared in the upper right corner of the screen will now pop up in the upper left corner.
