Sony has been rolling out the occasional beta update for PlayStation 4 exclusively to members of the PlayStation MVP program. Now, details have begun to emerge from testers regarding what the 2.50 version firmware update for PlayStation 4 will bring.
One of the more requested features that was touted at the PlayStation 4 reveal has been the addition of suspend/resume. This has been a mainstay of Sony’s handheld market but has never been integrated into their consoles to date. If the patch notes are to be believed, firmware 2.50 will introduce this to the PlayStation 4 by allowing users to enter Rest Mode without having to close any applications. In addition, gamers will finally be able to hide trophies that have 0% completion on their list, such as if your roommate played Terminator Salvation on your console and you want to get rid of that blight from your trophy list. A full list of the rumored patch notes for PlayStation 4 firmware 2.50 can be found below, courtesy of Wario64.
