Update 4.00 codenamed “Shingen” has brought news additions and visuals changes to the PlayStation 4 interface.
The following games are some that are already released, but are expected to be forward-compatible with the Pro: Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, The Last of Us: Remastered, The Witness and The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited.
The quick menu is getting an update too, making it customisable and easier to access, so you can again tweak how you move around your game library and give yourself quick access to some of your favourite or most played titles.

In a recent interview, House believes that PS4 Pro will play a role in keeping the gamers from the PC, and that providing them with the highest performance quality will make them within the console ecosystem.
