Everything You Need To Know: PS4 Firmware 5.0

by | Aug 17, 2017 | News, News Section, Ps4, Videogames

For those lucky enough to be accepted into the beta, the PS4 5.0 firmware update rolled out today. Codenamed NOBUNAGA, the update has a few major changes in store for users.

Most notably is the new “Family” feature, which will be replacing the old account system. The other feature making a big splash today is the ability for users to stream Twitch at at 1080p and 60fps, as long as they own a PS4 Pro.

Also in the update is the ability to toggle off pop-up notifications while you’re watching a movie or TV show, a feature that many users have been asking for on the blogs. New system language additions, an improved tournaments bracket viewer, virtual surround sound on PS VR, messages improvements, broadcast feature updates and more are all coming with this update as well.

Although 5.0 is chock full of new and updated features, it’s still missing a couple of the main things that users have been begging for. Most notably, there’s still no activity log or PS1 support, both things the community has been expecting and hoping for ever since the 2.0 update.

Overall, the early reaction to the new update has been decidedly mixed. Many users were expecting more from 5.0 and have expressed their disappoint with the added features. A few are excited about the new tricks, especially “Family” mode, but the most prevalent reaction has been indifference.

There’s no information yet on when the 5.0 update will go out to all users, but we’ll be sure to keep you updated when that news rolls in.

You can see all the details behind the new update over on the official PlayStation blog.
