PS4 update 3.50 adds PC remote play, online notifications, more
Appear offline and scheduled events also included.
Sony Computer Entertainment has detailed some of the key features included in its next PlayStation 4 system software update, version 3.50, the beta program of which begins tomorrow, March 2.
Want to know the moment your friends come online? With this update, you can, as we’ve added an option to be notified when members of your friends list sign on the network.
Appear Offline
Sometimes you want to play a game or watch a movie without being bothered by friends. Now it’s easier to go incognito as we’ve added the option to appear offline. You can designate if you would like to appear offline when you log-in or at any time from your Profile or the Quick Menu.
User Scheduled Event
Time for a play date! We’ve added the ability to schedule a future gameplay session with your friends on the system. When your event starts, users who registered for the event will automatically be added to a party so you can start playing right away.
Play Together
This features allows all members of a Party to see what each person is playing so that you can easily join a friend’s game, or start a new game together.
We’re bringing PS4 Remote Play to Windows PC and Mac. This feature won’t be available to test in the beta, but you can look forward to it soon.
Dailymotion
With this update, you’ll be able to live stream directly to Dailymotion on PS4. We’ll also support archiving live broadcasts, like we do for other streaming services.
Sony will share more information on the update, “including additional key features and its release date,” later on.
