Major PlayStation 4 Update Due, Sources Claim

One official and another unofficial source suggest new PS4 firmware is just weeks away.

Two separate sources have suggested that a new PlayStation 4 system update is fast approaching, bringing with it new system-wide features.

Talk of the next PS4 firmware build had commenced last Wednesday when Fred Dutton, a community manager at Sony, told fans on the PlayStation blog that "the next update is not too far out".

Following this, one well-known Sony fan who claims to have inside sources, claimed on Twitter that the PS4 update will arrive on March 29 or thereabouts. The person, going by the name Tidus, said the new software would offer a "big update" with "new futures incoming".

Tidus has a chequered track history with regards to publishing insider information, as detailed here. Nevertheless, both these comments together appear to imply that the next major system update is weeks away. GameSpot has contacted Sony for clarification.

The most recent major PlayStation 4 system update, codenamed Masamune, launched at the end of October. It introduced a range of features such as SharePlay, new theme colours, and background music.

What the next PS4 update will introduce remains unclear, though some fans believe the Suspend/Resume function--which allows players to quickly pause and resume games by powering the console off and on--is overdue.

In October, Sony did confirm the feature remains in development.

Sites should stop quoting Tidux lol

Tidux -> big laugh -> hopes the thread closes as fast as possible. Guy has a record like Pachter.

In most cases i wouldnt report Tidux information either as i do find him to be joke, but he isnt the only source in this case

Then point to the other sources, please.

Tidux is full of shit and has no connection to SCE FD team at all.

Tidux is just trying to ride Gnikananab's coattails.

While I don't care for Tidux because he's full of shit, I wonder what the update will have.

Ok, let's see..

"Major PS4 update due before the end of the first quarter 2015. Will come with new features"

or we can try,

"Major PS4 update due before E3 2015 with new features in tow"

I will be right, when it happens I guess that makes me a future source and an authority on the matter. You all heard it here first. (I could also just throw in all the features I know the have talked about or are wanted by the community and say they are trying to get then in now, that way one at least 3 of them come up I'll also be right)
