Just now, Sony has made available the download links for its new 3.00 firmware update (codenamed Kenshin) compatible with its PlayStation 4 systems, which gives users the ability to broadcast their gameplay live directly from their PS4, and includes several other changes.

Specifically speaking, this update also allows owners to share video to Twitter from the gaming console (double-tap the Share button to start recording). However, take into account that the maximum length is 10 seconds, but you can trim longer clips.

If applied, firmware 3.00 will add a dedicated section for PlayStation Plus through which you can manage your membership, see free games and deals, and so on, and will also allow screenshots to be saved in a higher quality format (PNG).

Moving forward, Sony’s team has managed to add a new hub for Events, improve Messages and Favorite Groups, and implement stickers to the Messages application, as well as give owners the ability to create communities based on shared interests.

In addition to that, you can now request a friend to start a Share Play session, browse through popular broadcasts, video clips, and screenshots uploaded by various users, as well as make use of several other changes.

When it comes to installation, simply save the downloadable .PUP file, create a “PS4/UPDATE” path onto a USB stick, save the firmware there, and insert the stick while the console is turned off.

Afterwards, press and hold the Power button for at least 7 seconds, navigate to the Update System Software section, and follow all instructions, as the console will guide you through the installation.

That being said, download Sony PlayStation 4 Firmware 3.00, apply it, and enjoy the changes this new release brings about. Also, constantly check our website in order to stay “updated one minute ago.”
