PS4 update 4.50 adds PS4 Pro boost mode, improves gameplay without patch
Got a PS4 Pro? Then you'll be able to enjoy improved gameplay for titles without a Pro patch thanks to PS4 update 4.50!
Sony detailed a number of new features available with the PlayStation 4 system software update 4.50 earlier today, though there’s one particular addition that may have got lost amidst all the chatter of external storage support and custom wallpapers.
According to Japanese gamers (via NeoGAF) who got access to closed beta for PS4 update 4.50, the firmware will introduce something known as Boost Mode, which allows PlayStation 4 Pro owners to enjoy improved frame rate among other additions for games that have NOT yet received a PS4 Pro patch.
The translation for the feature reads as follows: “Boost mode. When playing games released before the release of PS4 Pro (CHU-7000 series), you may be able to enjoy high quality game play by improving frame rate etc etc. Please turn it off when unexpected action occurs during game play.”
PS4 system software 4.50 is currently in its beta phase, so those of you who were lucky enough to get picked for the testing period will be able to enjoy all of the new features from today.
