  • Next Major PlayStation 4 Update to Disable HDCP, Add Video Editing, Save Pictures to USB, and 720p Twitch

    Sony has revealed that the next major patch coming to the PlayStation 4 will bring some much requested functionality to the system. This includes turning HDCP off, broadcasting at 720p on Twitch, saving images to a USB device, and more.
    This upcoming update will add a rich video editor with a simple tool to personalize your video clips, and you’ll also be able to export to and save the videos and screenshots you create by pressing the SHARE button to a USB drive. In addition, this update will add an HDCP off option for capturing gameplay via HDMI, a feature we’ve previously said would come after launch. We recognize that some gamers want to record and share longer clips of their gameplay sessions, and we’re excited to deliver this option with PS4. There’s a lot more coming in this update as well, so stay tuned for more—there will be plenty in the update to excite everyone.

    As part of a separate system software update in the future, we have been working with our partners at Twitch and Ustream, and will also be adding the ability for Twitch broadcasts to be archived – another highly requested feature among PS4 fans who are taking advantage of the SHARE button features. These broadcasts will be also provided with a higher resolution of 720p, so PS4 fans can enjoy live broadcasts with clearer images.

    Sony says that the updates will begin to roll out in the "upcoming weeks."
