PS4: 8 Awesome New Things You Didn't Know You Could Do

By Matt Charles / March 27, 2015

PlayStation 4 users fired up the console yesterday to find a new system update waiting to be downloaded, and although It might have annoyed some people who just wanted to jump straight into Bloodborne or FIFA, for others, this much-awaited firmware tweak was a nice treat. The 2.50 update codenamed 'Yukimura' arrived with a bunch of new features and fixes to toy around with. It's a pretty sizeable download and Sony told their users:

This update will make significant improvements to your PS4 experience, making it even more streamlined and enjoyable. Following the update, you€™ll be able to smoothly pick games up right where you left off, find and connect with friends quicker, customise your experience and share your most epic moments in a more meaningful way.

Long story short, it's been a long-awaited download because they've essentially been coming since the console was announced back in 2013 - while others came as a result of some more specific fan feedback. There is a full changelog available if you're interested but while there are a number of impressive technical modifications, you'll likely be more excited by the things you can start using right away. Here are eight of the best features Sony handed over to you to experiment with.
