Sony Interactive Entertainment has rolled out PS4 update 6.70, which is now available to download and weighs in at approximately 442.4MB. This is another smaller update for Sony’s current-generation console, so don’t expect anything in the way of new features for the console. However, much like the last few PS4 updates, it does implement some changes to improve overall system performance.
PS4 Update 6.70 Patch Note Are Short But Sweet
The PS4 update 6.70 patch notes confirm that the latest update “improves system performance,” although that’s literally all there is to it. The last major update for the console added the much-requested PSN name change feature, which arrived 13 years after the launch of Sony’s online service. Still, better late than never, eh?
Prior to that, PS4 update 6.50 added a number of extra features including Remote Play compatibility for iOS devices. Once you’ve got your console update, it’s probably a good idea to head over to the PlayStation Store to check out the June 2019 PS Plus lineup.
In related news, Sony has announced that Days of Play will be returning next month, offering a range of discounts on PS4 hardware and games, including a Limited Edition console. In addition, Sony UK is running a massive sale on PS4, PS3, and PS Vita titles.
Looking ahead to next year, Sony is preparing to launch its next-generation console, the PS5, which will support a range of features including backwards compatibility with PS4 games, SDD, ray-tracing, and PSVR.
Jack Tretton, the ex-head of Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA), recently chimed in on the subject of next-gen, suggesting the format holder is in a good position with the PS5, but feels the company will face greater competition than they did with the PS4.
The PS5 is rumoured to launch in November 2020, with Sony only so far stating it will not be released until after April 2020.
