Owners of the Sony PS4 will be pleased to hear the announcement of the new software update 1.70. Sony have revealed that the firmware update will be available for download on Wednesday 30th April.

Some of the main features of this new update will be to make edits of the videos they capture in the app called SHAREfactory, allowing them to be simply exported via an external drive. This means that gamers can easily upload and share their video content on such sites as YouTube.

The capture protection will also be able to be tuned off, which was not available in the last version with the HDCP off feature.

Another key features gamers are looking forward to is the ability to pre-download new titles before the release date. This means that as soon as the game is officially released the game will be unlocked and ready to play.
