Ahead of the PlayStation 4 system update 2.50 release which promises to be a big one, Sony has updated the PlayStation app on iOS devices. With PlayStation App 2.50.8 on iPhone and iPad, you can expect a redesigned homepage and enhanced abilities, like the ability to delete trophies with 0% achievement progress. The PlayStation App 2.50.8 Changelog awaits you after the jump.
Come tomorrow (March 26th), PlayStation 4 system update 2.50 Yukimura will be released onto the masses and bring with it some highly requested features. Those include the ability to pause/resume games which means you can “jump in and out of their games faster than ever.” Alongside that, Sony is also beefing up the PS4’s accessibility features by allowing you to increase font size and thickness on the screen and increase the screen contrast. Now we’re learning that there is a whole lot more we can expect when the firmware update goes live, like button remapping (pictured above).
After the jump, the full details of PS4 system update 2.50 await you.
And then there were 55. Sadly, last week we reported on a massive layoff that would be hitting Evolution Studios, the developers behind DriveClub. We noted then that, while the game was met with a rocky launch, since that time, it’s turned into arguably one of the best arcade racers out there. Unfortunately that hasn’t been enough to save the studio from cuts and that number has revealed itself. As of March 20th, nearly half the developers at Evolution Studios would soon be without a job.
More details after the jump, including some encouraging news for fans of DriveClub and MotorStorm.
In a move that only Sony/PlayStation could pull off, PlayStation TV, the companion device which allows you to stream PS4 games, and play PlayStation Vita games on your television will not support PlayStation Vue, the streaming TV service from Sony. Yes, PlayStation TV won’t support Sony’s PlayStation television streaming initiative. After you’re done shaking your head, meet us after the jump for some more head shaking.
After what can only be described as a botched launch despite a massive delay from its original launch date, DriveClub turned out to be one of the finest driving games yet. Beautiful visuals with robust gameplay that blends single player and multiplayer in a plethora of maps and events make DriveClub a game that shouldn’t be missed. However, seeing as it took an additional two months after launch in a very public manner for the game to be fixed, it suffered in sales as racing fans stayed away from the game. With poor sales tends to come layoffs and today, the studio is receiving such news.
Sony is officially rolling out PlayStation Vue streaming TV service. Compatible on PS3 and PS4, PlayStation Vue will be available to those in New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago with plans to grow to other major cities over the year. With lots of channel options and different pricing structures available, cord cutters might have a new champion on their side, all be it in currently limited areas. After the jump, full details on PlayStation Vue.

Codenamed Yukimura, the PS4 update 2.50 is the next major firmware update for the PlayStation 4 that’s set to bring a host of new features along with traditional under the hood improvements and performance enhancements. The big addition with this firmware update is the ability to Suspend/Resume games which was promised during the PS4 launch. Now one and a half years later, Sony is finally making good on its promise which will allow “PS4 users to jump in and out of their games faster than ever.”
Another big improvement to the core PS4 UI will be new accessibility options like the ability to invert the screen colors which can make it easier for some to read. Other enhancements to accessibility include being able to

According to a report by IGN, Titanfall 2 has officially been announced for the PlayStation 4. According to founder and CEO Vince Zampella, Titanfall 2 would be making its way to multiplatforms where the previous title was exclusive to Xbox 360 and Xbox One which severely hampered the game’s sales, due to the huge sales advantage of the PS4.
Zampella’s official statement, after the jump.
Gamers woke up to a bit of what appears to be unfortunate news that Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End would be missing its fall 2015 release date. The highly anticipated saga of Nathan Drake had been teased and shown off again as recently in December at the PlayStation Experience event in Las Vegas where a long in-game sequence with luscious graphics and smooth gameplay was shown off. Since that time, it appears that game directors Bruce Straley & Neil Druckmann (The Last of Us) didn’t feel like they’ve made enough progress for their vision to have it ready by fall.
For Sony, this can prove a bit problematic as Uncharted 4 would surely have been a system seller and their fall now remains without a AAA exclusive. For gamers, this means that a game they’ve been lusting for won’t make it to their hands for likely an additional 6 months – but you know what? It will be okay. Meet me after the jump for some common sense talk and a word or two from Bruce and Neil.

The PlayStation Nation continues to grow with momentum, not slowing down for the PS4. Sony has just announced that they’ve sold 20.2 million PS4 units since launch. It’s noteworthy that, since PS4 launched, that Sony is reporting units sold and not shipped. The difference is that Sony could very well have shipped 25 million units to retailers around the world. That sold number isn’t units sold to retail partners but units that have been bought by consumers.
The day is finally here. Starting today, you can enjoy HBO Go on your PlayStation 4.
Just in time for the season 5 premiere of Game of Thrones in April, Sony claims that the app will work just like it did on the PS3.

The Order: 1886 arrived this past Friday with a whirlwind of mixed messages from media and devs alike. First, let me address the elephant in the room. The Order is NOT 5 hours long. Having played it, I can say with certainty that the game is in fact 7 to 8 hours long – no shorter than some Call of Duty or Battlefield campaigns. After the jump, wee go in depth with The Order: 1886.
