But the biggest feature addition is HDR support, which Sony says will roll out to every single PlayStation 4 unit, including the original devices sold in 2013.
That’s because while your original PS4 – the actual original or the new slimmer model – does indeed support HDR from today, now there’s nothing you can run on it that makes use of the tech. It was originally designed for the PS4 Pro but those who are still on older generation platform can enjoy the visual fidelity in their games that HDR has to offer. It has also been made better with a load of new functionalities which include a Music section which allows a player to play Spotify without having to open it. Along with the facelift is the introduction of music integration into the Quick Menu.
The new, slim PS4 will give gamers an additional choice for how they wish to enjoy PlayStation content, according to KEF Media.
To turn this new setting on, you want to head into Settings and then down to Sound and Screen. The same goes for the PS4 Pro and the Slim editions.
The new Xbox console is 40 percent smaller than the company’s previous model, the Xbox One, and contains internal power supply and 2TB of internal storage, according to Xbox. You can also use Twitch and YouTube to stream 1080p content from the console.
While the streaming supports full HD on PC, Macs, the same can not be done with the PS Vita due to its limited screen resolution and hardware specs.
Let’s be real, most console updates are more annoying than anything.

Players should rejoice as Sony has introduced a new data transfer system with the PS4 4.00 update. It’s a convenient option to categorize your games, apps and other content in the redesigned user interface. There are no games now available for PS4 that offer HDR, and none of the video streaming apps on the console, such as Netflix or Amazon Instant Video, offer HDR either.
