Post on PlayStation Network Activity Feeds You can also quickly access the Notification settings from the Options Menu to turn off or customize which pop-up notifications appear on your screen, so you’re only being notified about your top priorities. We’ve condensed all of the tabs to a single simplified list, making it easier to see all of your notifications all at-a-glance. The goal is to keep you in the game - and not stuck in menus.īefore this update, the Notifications app had a variety of tabs on the left-hand side, like Game Alerts, Downloads, Uploads, and more. Now the Quick Menu will cover even less of your gameplay screen, and you’ll be able to access handy Party features via Online Friends, like creating new parties, inviting friends, and joining parties, without transitioning to the separate Party app. This update brings additional improvements to make it even more accessible. You can also edit screenshots using Photo Mode in Sharefactory to make your one-and-only custom wallpaper.Īs you may know, in the last system update we overhauled the PS4 Quick Menu feature (the menu that appears after a long press of the PS button on DualShock 4). Drop-shadows on text, and the option to dim the Function Area, will help keep the system icons and texts on the home screen clearly visible even if the background image you selected is super bright. This update adds the ability to set your favorite in-game screenshot as the background image for PS4’s home screen.

You can download and install applications directly to your extra storage, and the saved contents are easily manageable through the settings menu.Īlso, all the applications saved in the external HDD will appear in the Content Launcher of the Home Screen so it’s easy to keep track of what apps you launched recently.

This is compatible with HDDs up to 8TB in size.

Just plug a USB 3.0 HDD into your PS4, and voilà, you now have more space on the console. With this update, you have the option to store content to an external HDD.
