3. New 4K Video Apps Are Coming

Several of Sony's partners are busy working on bespoke 4K video apps for the PS4 Pro, namely Netflix and YouTube.

Netflix's app will be available on launch and feature 600 hours of 4K content, including Narcos season two and the new Marvel show Luke Cage, which premieres at the end of September.

YouTube's app doesn't have a definitive release date, but given the amount of 4K content they've been outputting for quite some time, it'll be a smart addition to the Pro's dashboard.

While there's sure to be plenty of controversy surrounding Sony's decision to focus on streaming over physical media, the number of people who actually care about discs is quickly dwindling, and Sony are merely trying to capitalise on that.
