Update 4.70 has been released for the PS4, which means – you know what it means, it means system stability. Yes, it’s another one of those updates. In Sony’s official parlance, “this system software update improves the quality of the system performance.”
That said, it looks like there is one more minor change- apparently, some system level icons have been changed by this new update, including the icon for the PS Store. Let’s see if you can spot the difference! Let’s also try to figure out why Sony wouldn’t cal attention to that in the official patch notes for this update…
The update is available to download right now. As is the case, if your PS4 is on Rest Mode, it will have downloaded the update automatically, based on your settings (it will have even installed it, if you have that setting enabled). If not, then you have to download and/or install it yourself. At least that doesn’t take a lot of time or anything, though.
People are encountering issues after updating their systems to it. Specifically, GamesRadar is reporting that a lot of players are encountering either locked up, or even bricked consoles, once they update to it. This… well, this can be an issue, obviously.
The good news is that for the time being, these players who ran into problems appear to have found fixes that have gotten them out of their problems. Basically, if you run into this problem, turn off the PS4 by holding down the power button. When you hear two beeps, the system has rebooted in Safe Mode. Reinstall the update, rebuild the database, make sure to have all external accessories disconnected (except for the controllers, of course), and make sure you are also not plugged into LAN. Restart the system, and you should be fine.
Alternately, if you have not yet installed the update, the best thing might be simply to not do so until Sony releases a hotfix for the problem.
