Next PS4 Firmware incoming soon?
According to Video Game industry insider Tidux on twitter, a new PS4 firmware is ready, and might be coming soon.
The Last PS4 update, firmware 3.11, added only some “stability improvements” (Sony’s wording to say they patched some security vulnerabilities). Before that, 3.10 was a minimal upgrade with some social features and tiny cosmetic changes.
The last big firmware update was 3.00. and it focused heavily on Social Media.
It is not known at this point if the upcoming firmware will be a major update, or just some minor fixes. Will it be a 3.12 PS4 firmware, or more of the 3.20 breed? Can we dream of a 4.00? (hint: probably not given how recently 3.00 was released)
It is also unknown when Sony will officially announce this next firmware update, but some people are predicting it could be announced during the Playstation Experience 2015 event, scheduled for this weekend.
What do you think the next PS4 Firmware update will bring?
The next #PS4 firmware update is almost ready. Should get info on it pretty soon™

Well again more stability issues ?? 😛
I hope that in some ps4 update eventually they will find a hole like there was with ps3 on 3.55 firmware and they would make a cfw for ps4. It would be cool.
It won’t be cool…it would be stupidity if a cfw is released for the young console
No. it would be cool my friend. If a console ps4 costs around 350-360€ and if you like 10 games for let’s say around 40-50€ each game and maybe more if it’s new, then with that money you buy a second console. It is no worth. and here in greece people don’t have much money. Most people buy ps4 and one or two games and they waiting for ps4 to be hacked. There in your country my dear friend thinks may be different as about the economy. It may be better than here. The same it was with ps3 when it was released. People was buying and with one or two games and then they were waiting for it to be hacked. Here it was released in 2007 and it was hacked in 2011. I think that if a company wants a console to be hacked then it will be hacked. They just want to reach their estimated selling budget and then they are not intrested enough in hacking the console because they already have sold enough for making the money that they spent on console promotion and selling part. I know from a friend of mine that was downgraded my ps3 that a ps4 hack it is studying from hackers but nothing more or less can’t be said before something is ready for release or something. So it’s for xbox one. I am not saying something for sure but I know that hackers are working on that.
It’d better allow for disc-based backwards compatability, without having to rebuy anything.
that wouldn’t be on a minor firmware upgrade more than likely….maybe once 4.0 is released, something major like that would be released….IF they do disc-based backwards compatibility.
I bet you they want use to rebuy ps2 games
I want to add my own background wallpaper why is it such an issue ? instead of themes that I don’t really like
It’s pure speculation on his part. It’s not that hard to assume a major FW should be coming soon. With the whole PS2 emulation news and PSX right around the corner it makes sense that if Sony were to actually announce their full plan for PS1/PS2 emulation at PSX that a firmware would be soon to follow.
This ^, I don’t understand why I am not allowed to use my own wallpaper. Also I know this isn’t ps4 related, but ps2 support on ps vita would be awesome! Of course it will most likely never happen.
First
Alex wasn’t first and Thomas was alone
Still waiting for Folder organization, custom background and PSN ID change.
I would be really stoked if they allowed you to share-play to more than one friend at a time.
I just updated simply to buy a game on PSN. Then my ps4 got stuck in that stupid “rebuilding database” for over two hours. I got frustrated and held down the power to reboot. I was able to connect to PSN but no games or apps would open. I then had to restart the console to fix that and all seems good. I wanted to DL and play Rocket League but with that hassle I couldn’t. I’ve only downloaded and installed it. Buying games on PSN or playing them shouldn’t require an update. It’s ridiculous. What happened to pick up and play? Now you have to set aside some time for installing the disc and or updates. And hope the issue above or similar doesn’t happen. I’m over it now but it was rally frustrating that day, I work full time and have a 4yo so gaming isn’t often.
