PS4 Firmware 2.0 is ‘just around the corner’

Sony’s Fred Dutton has teased that PlayStation 4’s much anticipated Firmware 2.0 update is “just around the corner.”

Speaking on the PlayStation Blog, Dutton wouldn’t be drawn into commenting on any new hardware features in the pipeline for PS4, but indicated the next update will drop soon.

"I can’t comment on new hardware features today, other than to say that [updates] are always in the works – as previously announced there’s a big PS4 update just round the corner that we’ll be talking more about soon,” he said. 

Elsewhere, he also shed some light on the selection process behind PlayStation Plus games.

"We have a global PS Plus team who select the games every month. I’m afraid I can’t comment on exactly why they choose particular titles, other than to say they do their very best to pick a diverse line-up of quality games over the three platforms."

"Of course, not all games appeal to all gamers, but there’s some really cool stuff in this month’s selection. Pix the Cat is ridiculously addictive and made by a scarily talented team with a great pedigree, Spelunky is one of the best platformers of the last 10 years and Rainbow Moon is a cracking RPG. As for Batman – I appreciate it’s 5 years old, but [in my honest opinion] I’d also argue it’s the best game in the series."
