'PlayStation 4' Latest News & Updates: Firmware 4.01 Update Has HDR Improvements!

Gamers have been wiser more than ever when it comes to gaming consoles. Now, purchasing gaming consoles has gone beyond just hardware and popularity. And PlayStation 4 knows that all too well.

Last September 13, an update to the PlayStation 4 system software was released. According to Sony PlayStation, the update can be utilized to install system software version 4.00. By updating to the latest version, gamers can enjoy additional features, improved usability, and enhanced security.

By latest version, it meant the PlayStation 4 Firmware 4.01. PlayStation is quick to innovate like that. From last month's release of PlayStation 4 Version 4.0 which included a refreshed user interface alongside customer folders, the PlayStation 4 Firmware 4.01 update added HDR support on the PS4 console.

As previously reported by WCCF Tech, the PlayStation 4 Firmware 4.01 improves system stability. The update is 297.6MB and that is nearly 300MB in size. When performing a new PlayStation 4 Installation, the update weighs in at nearly 900MB.

Moreover, the PlayStation 4 Firmware 4.01 update improves the system quality performance. And as said, it added HDR support on the PS4 console. HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging technology enables the reproduction of darkness and brightness while realizing a much wider range of colors.

What sets the difference for HDR users is that they get to enjoy perks from owning an HDR-compatible TV. They will be able to enjoy supported games and other entertainment content with visuals that are more realistic. Realistic in the sense that the visuals are truer to the way the human eye sees the real world and are more strikingly vivid and.

Sources say that the update appears to be optional. Gamers can still connect to the PlayStation Network without it being installed. But gamers have been advised. Who would not want the most stable system there is? This logic will serve the gamers well and would make them want to grab it the soonest possible time.
