PS4 Update 3.15 Coming Soon, Improves System Performance

So basically, this update is Sony giving the PS4 steroids instead of the usual stability. Good to see the PS4 has reached a normalized point in its short life.

What can we store online anyways?

Does it make the PS4 use more than half of my internet speed?

Cause that shit sucks.

So it's not system stability anymore? What gives, I demand to know! ; )

Well played, Eddie. Well played.

A better UI and external HDD support and i'd be a happy man.

I have a feeling that they do these updates after so many game releases at a time as it causes some kind of problem.

I would rather they were just honest, at least we know they are top of fixing the holes in their software after a hack.. ;-)

Saying that... I would really like a major update some time, a new look and a few new features would be nice :-)

Far better than Xone UI...

I keep turning on my Xone almost every week with hope that its better. As soon as I see the homescreen and that Sponsered Add... I say "Nope, still sucks" and shut it down... its so dusty right now its not even funny. Makes a good surface to put all my controllers on I guess...

P.S

Does MS buy back used "Working" Xbox Ones??? It's time I give them garbage and take their money!!!

The update comes just after a week a successful PS4 hack was reported, mmm...

these consoles get more updates than windows pcs. must be buggy machines.

Sony - PS4 system software update 3.15 is coming tonight – it’s a minor update designed to improve system performance.

Real reason - To patch the homebrew exploit which was found a few weeks back, like they use to do back in the PSP days with their so called "improve system performance" update. To improve system performance is the usual BS Sony says, bet nothing will be improved.

Fine by me. Haven't had any problems with my PS4 so car and any updates is always welcome in my books.

Didnt think there was anything to improve... but hey:) sounds good to me.

Unless this in regaurds to the SDK unlocked 7th core... who knows.

Well, the OS didn't need any system performance, it's fast already, so I'm assuming it's "in-game" performance. But as to whether it will make a difference on existing games, is the question. It's probably something that will mostly benefit future development.

I wonder if this closes the jailbreak mentioned the other day?

We are just over two years into this console generation, and I have already noticed a bit of stuttering and sluggishness with the PS Store. It isn't too terribly bad, but it was noticeable. I don't know if this is going to become the norm, or if there was some other "anomaly" that was causing this. I'd be curious to hear from others if they have noticed this as well.

I just recall how painful it is now to go to the PS Store on my PS3 at this point...and will be curious to see if this starts happening on the PS4 as well. Maybe I can cross my fingers and hope that this update fixes the stuttering I saw.

Sony should have done what the Wii U and the Xbox One did, and (purposefully?) release their console with an un-optimized UI, so they could later boast about how awesome their updates are to improve the speed/responsiveness of the UI. ROFL

An article about an update that does nothing, this is the only time of the year I miss articles about pointless sexism!

So it plugs up some holes that were recently discovered. I guess that can translate to improving performance. I think.

The best just keeps getting better, Thanks Sony!

PS4 update announcements puts a smile in the face. Xbox update announcements chills my back... I hate the lack of background donwload for system updates in tha box

I'm okay with the features they have now. The only feature I would really want is external HD support and even then I'm good at micromanaging as I typically try to focus only on 3-4 games at once across 4 platforms (vita, ps3, ps4, PC).
