The PS4 4.55 changes are limited to providing better stability on the console, following the launch of the feature-rich 4.50.
The PS4 update weighs in at around around 324MB, with users reporting improvements to their wifi connectivity and less crashing instances on the PS4 Pro.
However, these changes have not been officially reported by Sony, who are unlikely to post a big list of patch notes.
“This system software update improves the quality of the system performance,” reads the current information supplied by Sony.
One user on Reddit reported: “A few people had issues with wifi following the update. I have pretty bad internet but can play Overwatch with minimal lag. But following the update I couldn’t play at all. Constant shuttering.
“It looks like the new update fixes this problem.”
Wifi issues were apparently added to some consoles during the launch of update 4.50, which featured Boost Mode for PS4 Pro, as well as improved 2D visuals for PS VR. Thisl benefits the PS VR’s cinematic mode and provide better, crisper images.
The patch also launched the previously announced external HDD support, customisable wallpapers and 3D Blu-Ray support for PS VR.
The external HDD support, a long awaited feature, now allows PS4 owners to save application data for a game directly to an external hard drive.
This helps free up memory on the PS4’s internal memory – which on the base 500GB can be taken up quickly.
A post about the PS4 4.50 update on the official PlayStation blog said: “Our next major system software update for PlayStation 4, version 4.50 (codenamed SASUKE), rolls out tomorrow. Thanks to those who have taken part in the beta and provided us with useful feedback.
“We’ve already shared some of the key features last month, like external HDD support and custom wallpaper, but that wasn’t all this update has to offer. Here’s a look at some additional features heading to your system soon.”
