Sony has announced the new features to be included in PS4's 3.50 system update, set to be rolled out to beta testers tomorrow.

Ever wanted to play PS4 games on your PC? Well it seems Sony will be introducing such a feature in the console’s next update.

Unfortunately, the PC remote play feature will not be available in the upcoming beta.

Update 3.50 will be open to beta testers starting on March 2, and should debut for all players later this month.

Sony Computer Entertainment announced today the code name and key features of the upcoming system software update 3.50 for the PS4, “Musashi,” that will start its beta testing phase tomorrow.

• Friend Online Notification – Want to know the moment your friends come online? With this update, you can, as we’ve added an option to be notified when members of your friends list sign on the network.
• Appear Offline – Sometimes you want to play a game or watch a movie without being bothered by friends. Now it’s easier to go incognito as we’ve added the option to appear offline. You can designate if you would like to appear offline when you log-in or at any time from your Profile or the Quick Menu.
• User Scheduled Event – Time for a play date! We’ve added the ability to schedule a future gameplay session with your friends on the system. When your event starts, users who registered for the event will automatically be added to a party so you can start playing right away.
• Play Together – This features allows all members of a Party to see what each person is playing so that you can easily join a friend’s game, or start a new game together.
• Remote Play (PC/Mac) – We’re bringing PS4 Remote Play to Windows PC and Mac. This feature won’t be available to test in the beta, but you can look forward to it soon.
• Dailymotion – With this update, you’ll be able to live stream directly to Dailymotion on PS4. We’ll also support archiving live broadcasts, like we do for other streaming services.

I can’t say I’m not excited for remote play on PC, and even more for the ability to be notified when a friend comes online.

Just remember that the ones listed above aren’t all the features included in the update, but just the most important ones.
