One of the big selling points of Sony’s upgraded PlayStation 4 was its 4K capabilities, but it was a feature that couldn’t be fully accessed up until now.

Revealed recently on the PlayStation Blog, the incoming firmware patch will give the system the ability to finally playback 4K resolution MP4 files. Of course this will be on the hardware’s proprietary media player, where the video files can be played off a USB flash drive, or streamed directly from another connected source.

The update isn’t without its limitations though, as the Media Player will require you to reformat all previously attached storage devices, as previously formatted devices will not have the latest firmware for the 4K video playback.

The update does accommodate Virtual Reality media so long as you have the PlayStation VR set alongside your PlayStation 4 Pro, with VR specs clocking at a steady 1080p resolution when played.

The update is live as of Monday, the 27th for PS4 Pro owners to enjoy now.

STATS: Video gaming, music singing, art loving etch-a-sketch cyborg hybrid. Co-Owner/Podcast Producer/EIC @PressPauseRadio, Featured Contributor @GameSkinny When I was a kid, I once packed my clothes into my He-Man Lunchbox, and told my parents "I think I'm going to move into Toys"R"Us and live with the video games." Looking back at that now from an adult standpoint, I'd say not a whole lot has changed. I'm George, most call me GeorgieBoysAXE or whatever suits them at that given situation of addressing me by name. I collect and play video games to a degree most would consider eccentric but fuck 'em because I am what I am. Music is my other half and my gratitude for the medium grows stronger by the day. I support editorials of all kinds, whether they be of the blog or blurb variety, but my heart will always stay with my own personal giants of print media, that being Electronic Gaming Monthly and Alternative Press magazine.
