Sony enables 'What's New' PSN feature on PS4

4.7
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe continues to introduce new PS4 features previously disabled in a bid to facilitate a smooth launch.

The latest feature to be introduced is the 'What's New' feed, which lets users discover and engage with their friends' PS4 related activity.

'Content Information Screen', which enables users to see their friends' activity and information specific to the title they're looking at, will be introduced next.

Despite disabling a number of non-essential features, the European PSN suffered network congestion and slow speeds when PS4 launched last Friday, leaving some users unable to sign-in for extended periods.

Core network stability returned throughout Saturday and Sony has since been rolling out new features and functionality. Voucher redemption continues to be controlled in order to cope with volume.

Worldwide PS4 sales stand at 2.1 million units, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House said on Tuesday morning.

Ryc It's good there adding new things that's just what Sony needs.


yeah i was worried about what the kids might see on this too, it could easily turn into the next chat roulette, ie, a fun service ruined by 90% of the vids now being men masturbating

twitch (where the video is sent to and streamed from) though has started banning people not using it for gaming related stuff now though. which should help at least. until some clever-clogs whacks off with his feet while playing killzone with his hands, as a work-round the rules. :P

Yep I was on this last night and it stored what you and friends have done since launch, quite cool and very quick.

Kex I'm glad they improved the dashboard lol. The ps3 one sucked.


I actually didn't mind the PS3 Home Screen. It worked just as well as the Xbox 360's if not better in my opinion
