The latest PlayStation 4 firmware update has improved the system’s software stability for games, apps and more.
CVG reports the PS4 firmware update 2.02 addressed the issue of consoles shutting down completely after being put into Rest Mode. The PS4 2.0 update was released earlier in November, which gave users access to new features such as Share Play and a USB Music player.
Sony published details about their SharePlay feature on their official PlayStation blog.
“The best way to think about Share Play is like a ‘virtual couch’,” PlayStation wrote in their blog. “PlayStation 4 will create an online local co-op experience by allowing you to invite a friend to join your game—even when they don’t own a copy of it. With this first-of-its-kind feature, you’ll be able to play games with a friend just as if you were together in the same room…
“With Share Play, you can even jump into a game to assist a friend. For example, if there is part of a game that you can’t quite finish, you can invite a friend to take over your controls.
"Like handing over the controller to a friend on your couch, your screen will be shared as your friend gets through the part of the game that has been giving you trouble—can’t get past that part in The Last of Us: Remastered when you’re hanging upside down? Get a little help.”
