We all know what's in it.

Stability updates just means they fixed bugs, as opposed to adding new features or changing intended functionality. They don't say anything more than that because a full changelog would be boring and/or not understandable. It could also be that they needed to change something about the network interface.

Or it could mean that your PS4 is less likely to fall over.

emailking · 05-31-2018, 03:06 PM

I know it's amusing in that way, but "stable" is a pretty common, if slang term in the world of software testing. A stable application doesn't have a lot of usability bugs. That's where they're getting it from anyway.

dyne · 06-01-2018, 11:36 AM

We’re all aware of that.

Derb · 06-01-2018, 12:49 PM

I’ve been working & failing on getting this Xbox Elite Controller to work with PS4 via an X One Adaptor which was recently released. Had me thinking that maybe, just maybe some of these stability updates include Proprietary software to make unofficially licensed products to not work on PS4.

Yeah I figured you were aware, but I was posting that for the benefit of everyone who wasn't. 😉

Assume everyone here is aware

Maybe but I doubt it based on how often people poke fun at or complain about Sony's changelogs (not necessarily here).

Like if you understand it just means big fixes and that stability is a common term in the software world, then how is it funny?

6.0 has a beta sign up. You need to be a plus or now subscriber to get in. Registration closes July 27th. No details on what feature will be added yet.

dyne · 07-20-2018, 01:13 AM

Links for each region are here at IGN.

I’ll bet a big 6.0 update will have more social media stuff nobody likes, more stability and more family and privacy options.

On a more serious note, needing a Now sub is telling. Maybe they’re implementing the Now download ability?

Destinys Memory · 07-20-2018, 01:23 AM

Links to a dead 404 page.

They had previously said if you signed up and were accepted for the last beta, you'd be auto-accepted for all future betas.

dyne · 07-20-2018, 01:34 AM

Signups are until the 27th. I don’t think all of the links are live yet.

Grim Reaper · 07-20-2018, 04:09 AM

Signed up for it.

partridge · 07-20-2018, 09:38 AM

So, what will 6.0 bring us? What's left on the wish list? Dolby Atmos support would be good, for films and games. I'd really like to be able to export my captured videos and screenshots directly to cloud storage like G Drive, etc, but I'm not sure what else I'd like to see?

dyne · 07-20-2018, 12:16 PM

The only major thing I want at this point is name changing so people can stop asking for it.

DJR662 · 07-20-2018, 12:19 PM

I would like that once you have chosen PCM 5.1 under HDMI settings, it would stay that way.
