News: Sony has confirmed some of the rumors going around the internet about some of the features that firmware update 2.50 will include.

PS4 Update 2.50 is coming soon and for now the title has the code name of “Yukimura.” There have been many rumors as of late as to what this update will contain and Sony has finally confirmed at least a few of the rumors. The list that Sony revealed on the PlayStation Blog includes:

Trophy Improvements - In “Yukimura,” a screenshot will automatically be captured at the moment a Trophy is earned, making it easier than ever for you to share your greatest gaming moments with your friends. There are also more sorting options along with the new ability to remove games from the Trophy list that have 0% completion.

Sub-account to Master account Upgrade - Users with a sub-account will now be able to upgrade to a master account directly from their PS4 when they turn 18, removing restrictions for chat, enabling users to fund their own wallet, make purchases and more. Currently, users can upgrade their sub-accounts online at https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/.

Remote Play & Share Play at 60 fps - For games that support 60 fps, the ability to customize the frame rate of Remote Play and Share Play will be added with “Yukimura.” Play to your bandwidth strengths and use this option to stream gameplay at 60 or 30 fps when using Remote Play or Share Play on supported devices.

Share Video Clips to Dailymotion - When sharing standout PS4 moments via the Share button on DualShock 4, “Yukimura” will allow players to upload directly to Dailymotion.

Accessibility Options - “Yukimura” introduces a wide variety of options to make your PS4 entertainment experience even more accessible. Options include text to speech, enlarged text, bolder fonts, higher contrast UI, zoom for displayed pictures, invert colors on screen and more. Users will also be able to reassign buttons for DualShock 4, making it easier for users with limited manual dexterity or limited reach and strength to play.

Facebook Friend Search - PlayStation will now let you connect with your Facebook friends on PS4 using your linked account. Search for Facebook friends who are PlayStation Network members and build on the foundation of Friends you already have in your list.

What do you think about these additions to the PlayStation 4? What do you want to see added? Personally speaking I would like to see external hard drive support as well as a folder system. What about you?
