While build 3.00 of the PlayStation 4 System is still some way off being released, but the details of the update have leaked online and show that Sony has quite a bit in store. In the mix are a number of major new features, while the company will also undoubtedly solve some recent PS4 errors such as disc loading freezes and issues with false storage details.
As for those new features, there are a whopping dozen in all and some of them are heavily focused towards social media gaming. Namely, PS4 3.00 System Update brings the ability to add 10 second gameplay videos to twitter, while the feature to host live gameplay videos on YouTube is finally coming (this was announced way back when the PS4 was launched).
