<p>The PlayStation 4 will need a system update applied to it on launch day that adds a number of features the system has been touting for a while, like downloading as you play, gameplay uploading and Blu-Ray/DVD functionality.</p>
<p>PS4 System Software Update 1.50 is about 300 MB in size and claims to add new features alongside the PS4&#8217;s basic functions, like playing games and being able to sign in, presumably. Unfortunately, for those that were looking forward to utilizing the system&#8217;s suspend/resume feature will have to wait, as that&#8217;s something that will come after launch. Other features found in the PS4 will be detailed at a later date, as well as other things coming after launch.</p>
<p>As for what the update does add, look no further than <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/10/25/ps4-system-software-update-1-50-details/">this rundown provided by Sony and the PlayStation Blog</a>.</p>
<p>It never occurred to me that the PlayStation 4 would need an update right out f the box, but at least Sony told us before November rolled around&#8230;.seven days from now.</p>
