One of the biggest differences between the Xbox One and Playstation 4 was the ability to use external storage. On the Xbox One, you can easily plug in an external Hard Drive to download and run games of it. However, with the PS4, you didn’t have that kind of privilege with restrictions of its USB storage only allowing you the ability to play music and video, or back up an entire PS4. This is about to change with the PS4 system software update 4.50 codenamed Sasuke.
Other additions you can look forward to in the 4.50 update include:
- Adding the ability to view Blu-ray movies in stereoscopic 3D directly on the PS VR headset
- The ability to post directly into the Activity Feed on PSN
- A simplified notification list
- Revamped Quick Menu that takes less of the gameplay screen
- Using your own screenshots and pictures as a wallpaper
All the applications that are saved in the external HDD (up to 8TB in size) will appear in the Content Launcher of the Home Screen to make it easier with keeping track of what apps you launched recently.
The PS4 system software update 4.50 is currently in beta. Judging by the past, we should see this being made available to the public by the end of the month at the very latest.
