PlayStation 4 update gives players more privacy

Sony’s flagship home gaming console is getting some nice new features.

The next system update for the PlayStation 4 will come out tomorrow. It adds new features to the popular system (one that consistently outsells its chief competitor, the Xbox One). Notably, the 2.50 system update allows players to change their online status, making it so that they appear offline even when their connected to the PlayStation Network. This is a great feature for people who want to play a game without having to worry about receiving messages or group invites from friends.
