PlayStation 4 update 2.01 is now live — fixes failure to boot from rest mode

Sony’s acted quickly to fix a major problem that arose from last week’s big PlayStation 4 system update, rolling out the 2.01 update today.

System Update 2.0 was a big step forward for PlayStation 4, bringing Sony’s streaming game-sharing solution SharePlay to the console, along with the option to play media from USB devices. It also caused a big headache for many gamers, however, as it made their consoles freeze when attempting to switch on from standby. Sony said it was working on the issue two days ago, and it’s now come up with a fix which it hopes will restore some faith among PS4 owners.
