PS4 update 4.00 relesaed

PlayStation 4’s latest major system software update, version 4.00 (codenamed Shingen), is now available. The update brings a large raft of updates to the PS4 such as refreshed system UI, Folders, a new Quick Menu and Share Menu, Library improvements, and more.

Refreshed UI

The overall look and feel of PS4’s main user interface has been improved. New backgrounds, icons and revised pop up notifications and drop down menus to make these clearer.

The Quick Menu has been redesigned to now cover only a portion of the screen which means you never have to leave your game – and you can customize it to access your most used features. With shortcuts to the most commonly used settings and features and a smarter interface that displays the options that are most relevant to whatever you are doing, the quick menu will now be more useful.

Folders and Library

You can now easily keep tabs on your ever-expanding games and apps collection with custom folders. These can be added to both the main home-screen and your library and will store as many games and apps as you wish. You’re free to edit, sort or remove them at any time.

What’s New

What’s New has been redesigned and now includes more information about what your friends have been doing on PS4. Including the new Activity Feed, which has larger images and easily accessible options to like, comment or reshare and sections for Now Playing, Trending, Players You May Know and Who to Follow.

Your Profile and the Community

Yours and your friends’ profiles have been revised and updated to provide more relevant information and comparisons about the games you’ve been playing, the trophies you’ve earned and the communities you’re active in. You can also personalize your profile with a cover image.

You can now find and interact even more like-minded players in Communities as each community size limit has been increased to 100,000 and you now have the ability to reply to Community wall comments. You can also share your best screenshots directly to a Community wall via the Share menu.

High Dynamic Range

The update will allow all PS4 consoles, including the new slimmer PS4 and PlayStation®4 Pro to support High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging technology. Users who own an HDR-compatible TV will be able to enjoy supported games and other entertainment content.

Data Transfer to new PS4

And if you are planning to upgrade to one of the new devices in the future you will be glad to hear that it is now easier to get all of your data from one PS4 to another. They have added the ability to transfer data over a wired LAN connection. You can transfer games, user info, and saved data.
