[Rumor]News & Release Of PS4 Firmware 2.0 Coming Soon

Alleged industry insider “Tidux” just tweeted that the long awaited 2.0 version of PS4 firmware will be announced shortly, with a release following not too long after that. He’s been right about earlier firmware releases before.

This new version is highly anticipated as it should introduce features such as Share Play, the ability to upload videos directly on YouTube, and more. Sony said the following at the Gamescom 2014 press conference:

Share Play will be coming to PS4 as part of the upcoming system software update v2.00, scheduled for release this fall. The update will also add highly requested broadcast and video share features, including both uploading you game play footage and dedicated app support for YouTube, which we mentioned on stage at E3. Finally, What’s New will get enhanced real-time activity through friend-of-friend suggestions, allowing instant access to friends’ and recently played games’ broadcasts, and a real name search function will also be added. More features to come when v2.00 is made available this fall, and we will have more to announce in the coming months..

Indeed, Xbox One has received many firmware updates and a few PS4 users grumbled about the slower updates pushed out by Sony, but this one looks like it will make many gamers happy. Are you excited yet?
