For those with a PS4 Pro.
Details about PlayStation 4’s forthcoming firmware update 5.0 have reportedly surfaced, revealing that 1080p 60fps Twitch streaming support is on the way for PS4 Pro users.
According to Eurogamer, who reports to have acquired a copy of update 5.0’s release notes, the update also adds the ability to follow any user account without needing a friend request or maxing out your friend list.
According to the update notes, Sony is doing this to “encourage more sharing of content and more interactions” among players and “boost the viral potential of UGC” for developers.
Players will have the ability to block users, as well as the option to choose whether or not they want anyone or just existing friends to be able to follow their account.
Other additions include expanded account management options—with the new family accounts that can feature multiple adult accounts—as well as updates to system notifications, making them visible from the Quick Menu, and more.
According to Eurogamer, Sony plans to launch the new firmware update alongside an revamped PlayStation App in the not too distant future.
