Today’s PlayStation 4 Firmware Update Won’t Do Anything Exciting

The PlayStation 4 firmware is set to be updated today. Taking the system software to version 3.15, the update just doesn’t introduce any new features.

What it will do, hopefully, is improve system performance in unknown ways. The official PlayStation Twitter account tweeted, “PS4 system software update 3.15 is coming tonight – it’s a minor update designed to improve system performance.”

So there ya go. When you get the update notification later today, that’s what you’ll be downloading. Exciting!

  • OoooH Exciting !!
  • They could sneak in a PS1 emulator like they did with PS2 emulator. I really want to play a lot of awesome PS1 games with trophy support.
  • Lots of time they dont tell us what they did. like last time when u can change avatars.

  • @#3 they did announce that you could change avatars in that update.
  • @#2 Hoping for Final Fantasy Tactics with trophy support!
  • That is exciting for me! Hopefully the frequently occurring problem of a blank screen when going to the PS Store, the Flash crashing in the Internet Browser, and the frame rate drops from in-game notifications all come to an end!
  • I have noticed instability when I have 5 games or more installed at one time . And sometimes my console beeps at me like I left an app running when I shut down even though I did not use any apps . Hopefully this all comes to an end .
  • Maybe just an attempt to fix that linux hack imo
  • @#6 Final Fantasy Tactics with trophy suport!! sounds like a dream, a Golden trophy for unlocking Cloud...PS1 games with trophy suport sounds amazing too, crossing fingers here, maybe next firmware.
  • Sony, make the trophies visible on ps4 while offline!
  • maybe it's a stupid question but why do people want a feature to view trophies offline? i've never personally used it really and you'd need an online connection regardless to sync them.
  • @#8 Never had same problem and even at time of this writing I have 10 or 11 games installed. Let's hope it's not your hardware sending you warning signals! OT: I mean it's not like they can make console run any faster, right? It already loads to dashboard twice as fast as my Xbone and is way more responsive. I am assuming some minor tweaks, etc. Maybe folders, one can dream, right?;-)
  • @12 People don't want to always be online - as evidenced by the outcry whenever 'always online' things are brought up. As it stands you can currently play most games without being online. Surely those people should also be able to see what the trophies are, and which ones they have achieved. A feature I personally would like, that I miss since transitioning to PS4 from 360, is to be able to delete a game to free up storage, while leaving the DLC installed. As things stand, if I want to reinstall a previously deleted game from disc that's quick enough, but I have to wait ages while the DLC downloads again.
  • Viewing trophies offline would only lead to trophy hacking once again. Most times someone wants offline trophies it's probably because their internet isn't good/fast.
  • @14 - i kinda see your point but at the same time, without internet they can't sync their trophies anyway unless they simply don't care should they lose them if their console breaks. so either way, if they want to play games while they're offline that means they'd be playing single player games so what's the issue of being logged in while doing so?
  • Still no feature to sort games into folders? Come ooooon.
  • I want to be able to view the trophies offline. One time my internet went down for 2 days and I couldn´t play many games because I couldn´t check the trophy list to see what I already did and what not. This is really annoying, trust me.
  • @18 - i trust you. i just personally have never used it so was curious why people demanded it.
  • @16 I was on 360 last-gen, and until I got the later model with built in wi-fi almost all of my gameplay was offline. I still enjoyed checking and getting the trophies. It's not always about amassing a huge list of achievements/trophies synced up online - they're a fun way of "completing" the game. You don't need to be online to get them, so you shouldn't need to be online to see what they are.
  • The new update messed up the three infos under games, you know the overview, activities and related. Instead it says msg_kj_ in front of them lol.
