Possible features list is misleading, from source

 

There are no other details as to what else the 1.6 update could bring, but we expect it will mostly be bugs fixes and internal software tweaks to keep the PS4 problem free. 

 

 

All I want for now is Pulse Headset support and for audio to be fixed, whether it's Sony's or Netflix's doing, I have no 5.1 audio (no center channel) in Netflix. Sony do need to bring back the PS3 like audio options for the PS4 regardless.

Looked it up seems to be a PS4 issue with all/most video streaming apps, I've only used music apps and watched blu-ray movies so haven't experienced it. But hopefully that's one of the fixes in the new firmware update.

 

Possible features is just a list from multiple sites which are the most requested and most talked about.

I think it's to do with the stupid "preferred audio output" setting. You can actually change that to optical and it still works over HDMI :/ They need to bring back the PS3 option of allowing you to select various outputs and deselect others rather than trying to manage it all automatically. The PS3 did have an automatic option, but giving manual options is completely necessary for wide spread audio system compatibility.

If that possible feature list is even half fulfilled, that will be a lot of stuff that I would be happy with.  Hopefully the headset support is handled first though since they did make a point to say that would be coming soon.  I'm not using a pulse headset, but apparently there are many that do.

 

I have also run into the app surround sound issue, so it would be great to see that fixed, not to mention improving the stability of apps in general since I still get crashes to the dashboard every so often.

 

Out of that list, the one that sticks out to me is the external drive support.  Are there strong rumors to suggest that Sony is going to add that?  I hadn't seen anything regarding that.  That would be cool. Also, I had no idea you couldn't play 3D Blurays yet, I thought there was discussion about that and Sony had said it did at launch.  Doesn't bother me though, I don't have any to play.

 

Well considering its going to be late February and the version number is jumping like it is, they must be trying to pack a lot in. Looking forward to it.

Going by the big jump in version number, it would have to include more than just support for a headset. 

 

Since when has a minor point increment (0.08 in this case) been considered a "big jump"?

 

Big/Major increments are generally made by incrementing the digit(s) before the dot/period. the digits after the dot are considered a minor update.

Tonight, system update 1.60 will be hitting the PS4, bringing with it support for several wireless headsets, including the PULSE, the PULSE Elite, and Sony's newly announced Gold Wireless Headset, which you can check out via the above trailer.

Don't use a headset nor voice commands, though in playing Tomb Raider they seem to really be pushing for it.   It's kind of nice actually with the lack of support for most headsets, I can play BF4 and such without a bunch of people yelling over mic as they don't want to use the Sony provided ones. 

However, if the other features in the list (primarily external HDD Support) got added.. that would be fricken awesome.

The update for the 22nd was released about 2 hours ago. (1.6)
There is no big features included, and I can't see there being another 'big' update this month. 
All in all - a pretty useless Firmware update really.

    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      hands down the worst version of Windows to date and sadly I think it's only downhill from here

      I've never known a release to have so much pressure than this one. There is so much riding on the whole games industry because of everything that's changed in the past five years. That if this is a complete flop then I think the whole games industry is done unless something radically changes.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      Windows 11 is now five years old by Taras Buria Windows 11 is now half a decade old. Five years ago, on June 24, 2021, Microsoft announced its latest operating system, designed to "bring you closer to what you love." Today, Windows 11 celebrates its fifth birthday. The launch of Windows 11 was interesting. Rumors about Microsoft introducing a Windows 10 successor popped up weeks before the public announcement, and a few days later, an entire preview build leaked online, allowing everyone to take a peek at what Microsoft was preparing. A few weeks later, Microsoft confirmed that Windows 11 was a thing and officially unveiled its next-gen operating system. Early versions of Windows 11 promised quite a lot. A redesigned, more modern user interface, a brand new Start menu and taskbar, improvements to virtual desktops and window snapping, Android app support, Teams integrated into the taskbar, Windows Widgets, a new version of the Microsoft Store, improved security, and more. Some of those features were welcomed, while others were received with heavy criticism. Besides missing taskbar and Start menu features, many disliked the steep hardware requirements, which kicked out PCs that were back then still perfectly fine. TPM and Secure Boot became mandatory, causing a spike in sales of dedicated TPM chips for motherboards. Double-layered context menus were disliked as well, and it is something that Microsoft still has to fix. Additionally, with time, some of Windows 11's exclusive features were simply killed. Microsoft removed the Teams integration and discontinued Android app support. During the early days of Windows 11, Microsoft was quite unwilling to address things that users criticized most. After four years on the market, management changes, and heated competition from the Mac camp, Microsoft finally decided to give in and take its operating system back to the drawing board to fix everything users had been complaining about for years. Microsoft is now redesigning the Start menu, adding missing taskbar features, improving Windows Update, fixing Windows 11's context menu, and more. Some believe all that warrants a new Windows 12 release, but for now, it appears that Windows 11 will stick around for a while. With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11!

      It’s a code which will be connected to your account. You can share the box but that would be sort of pointless.
