PS4 3.50 system software update – key features detailed

The closed beta goes live on 2nd March


Our beta program for PS4’s next major system software update, codenamed Musashi (or 3.50 if you prefer numbers), kicks off on 2nd March. If you signed up for the beta and were selected, keep an eye on your email for instructions on downloading.

Regardless of whether you’re in the beta, we wanted to detail some of the key features we’re adding to PS4 in this update. We’re making it easier to connect and play together with friends and the wider community, as well as introducing some much requested features.

-Friend Online Notification – Want to know the moment your friends come online? With this update,  you can, as we’ve added an option to be notified when members of your friends list sign in on the      network. Notifications can be tailored to certain friends.

-Appear Offline – Sometimes you want to play a game or watch a movie without being interrupted.    Now it’s easier to go incognito as we’ve added the option to appear offline. You can designate if you  would like to appear offline when you log-in or at any time from your Profile or the Quick Menu.

-User Scheduled Event – Now it’s easier to organise a game session. We’ve added the ability to 
 schedule a future gameplay session with your friends on the system. When your event starts, users  who registered for the event will automatically be added to a party so you can start playing right  away.

-Remote Play (PC/Mac) – We’re bringing PS4 Remote Play to Windows PC and Mac. This feature  won’t be available to test in the beta, but you can look forward to it soon.

-Dailymotion, new service partner in Share feature – Dailymotion, an additional live streaming  service, will become available for PS4 users to enhance their broadcast experience. Like other live  streaming services available on PS4, users will enjoy the following features: Activity Feed, What’s  New Broadcast Info Tile, Live Detail and Live from PlayStation.

If you’re in the beta, please download the software and let us know what you think. Stay tuned for more details on 3.50, including its release date.
