| PS4 users will soon have some new features to play with after the eventual launch of update 3.00 |
SONY have revealed the big changes that will be included in the next PS4 update.
The next major system software update for PlayStation, version 3.00 (codename: Kenshin), is to add new features and content to the new-gen console.
Sony will run a beta for the new update via PS4's beta testing system this summer, meaning those who have opted in will get access today.
The tech giant have also warned, however, that some of the features that have been listed may not make it into the final release.
Those new beta features include a YouTube streaming option, an increase to 10 GB of cloud storage, a new Events hub, Sharing video clips to Twitter and Requesting to watch a friend's game.
The full list can be found here, while some of the key highlights from the announcement can be found below.
