PS4 Update 5.0 Leak Details 1080p/60FPS Streaming, New Follow System
Update 5.0 for the PS4 is set to launch later this year, but details regarding the patch have recently surfaced. Eurogamer has apparently obtained a copy of the patch notes, and it details major changes to stream quality for those with the Pro console, as well as an updated follow system and new parental controls.
PS4 Pro Streamers will be happy with this update, as it will allow them to stream at 1080p/60fps. This is stream quality that lower-end PCs can’t handle, so this increases the PS4’s value to streamers.
After this update players will also be able to follow anyone’s account, unlike the current system. Right now, the only accounts you can follow are verified accounts, which are mostly made up by official game accounts, developers, and popular Youtubers. Sony looks to encourage more content sharing with this change, so it will be interesting to see players become popular through this platform. Players will be able to decide who can follow them, and they’ll also be able to block users from doing so.
The parental controls are also being updated. There can now be multiple adult accounts, and these can set parental locks on specific accounts so personalize the communications, content, and spending limit of each child. Adult accounts can send requests to other accounts on separate PS4s to join the same family. This comes paired with an app used to manage family accounts.
There are also some quality of life changes coming to the UI, as notifications can be viewed from the quick menu, as well as the status of uploads and downloads. Players will no longer need to return to the home menu for this information.
There is currently no set date for the 5.0 Update. Sony has yet to even fully release the patch notes, so there could be more changes waiting for players when they do. Check out the full Eurogamer leak here!
Dead Cells’ Return to Castlevania expansion, which came out a few weeks ago and is really good, is a great way to relive your childhood and enjoy a nostalgic distraction. A native PS5 physical release of the game is in the works, and it looks like we’ll be getting a bundle with both versions of the game.
Gematsu found a listing for “Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania Edition” on the ESRB website. It was rated T for Teen, which suggests that an announcement is coming soon.

After its initial 2018 release on PS4 to widespread acclaim, Dead Cells has received a steady stream of updates, and we think a bundled SKU including DualSense support and all the other PS5 bells and whistles would be awesome. What do you think of Return to Castlevania if you’ve been playing it?
The next update for Dying Light 2 will release on April 20 for PS5 and PS4, and it will include improvements to the game’s brutal combat system, among other things.
Techland, the company that made the game, says that the changes coming to the combat system will be “significant” and will make the already “brutal” combat even worse.A transmogrification system is also being added, which will give players more control over how their avatars look without sacrificing gameplay depth, which is always important.
How do you feel about these unexpected improvements for Dying Light 2?
Is Marvel’s Midnight Suns on the PlayStation 5 your curios? Over the weekend, anyone who wanted to could try out the tactical superhero game for free. Unfortunately, due to a few mistakes, it hasn’t been helping everyone. The good news is that this hiccup has been fixed, and the trial has been extended to make up for lost time:
📣 The PS5 All-Access trial should now be working for all players. We’ve extended the PS5 trial until Thursday, March 30 at 12AM PT / 7AM UTC. Thanks for your patience! https://t.co/guP2OopAf6

As a result, until Thursday, March 30th, all PS5 owners can enjoy the game at no cost. You’ll have plenty of time to check it out after that.
Firaxis’ Marvel’s Midnight Suns gives familiar heroes and villains a fresh spin through the use of turn-based strategy and role-playing game elements. You’ll be able to hang out with Marvel’s Blade, Captain Marvel, and Wolverine when you’re not engaged in tactical battles. The game has its own style and is fun to play.
It’s also important to note that PS Plus Premium members can play the game for two hours for free. That’s why it’s not the end of the world if you can’t take advantage of this protracted trial period.
Will you be using this demo to check out Marvel’s Midnight Suns on the PS5?
