A new update for the Playstation 4 has arrived, but please don't get too excited. This system software update improves the quality of the system performance. No new features or changes are added with this update. This is the second time this month that Sony has released a stability-focused update for the PS4. The other one was released on October 3. Today's update is 312.1 MB, the same file size as the previous one.

Now for its main features:

•  You can now use a USB 3.0 storage device to install applications, or move applications from your PS4™ system storage.* There is no guarantee that all USB storage devices are compatible with your system.

• The quick menu is now more user friendly. Party features, such as creating and joining parties, are even easier to access from the quick menu.
• (Notifications) has been redesigned. All notifications now appear in a single list.
• When using Remote Play on a Windows® PC, Mac, Xperia™ Smartphone, or Xperia™ Tablet, you can now use your device's microphone for voice chat in games or in parties.
•  You can now use screenshots to customize the background of your home screen and function screen.
•  You can now post screenshots directly to activities, such as those shown in [What's New].

 And so on..
