Sony has updated its PS4 to support 3D Blu-ray playback

Fans of 3D movies who have PS4 should be happy to know that Microsoft and Sony have finally announced support for playback of 3D Blu-rays.

Eight long months after the launch of the Xbox One and PS4 finally Sony has released the latest PS4 update 1.75, adding 3D Blu-ray support to its latest console among other new features.


“PS4 System Software 1.75 is now ready to download. Get downloading!” the company wrote on its PlayStation Europe account, posting an image that confirms 3D Blu-ray movies will be now supported on the console.


The latest update is Version 1.75. The update adds a few minor patches, but the big news is that it came with support for 3D Blu-ray playback. This is a feature that many people have been screaming for since the console was released. Sony has beating the Xbox One with this update as Microsoft are also adding 3D Blu-ray support in their next update (expected in August).


The PlayStation 3 is already capable of playing 3D Blu-ray discs and has been for some time. It was considered weird; therefore, that Sony did not support the format on the PS4 from the beginning. Especially when Sony Pictures has been a major supporter of 3D movies in the last few years.


Also added is an improvement in sound quality when films or TV shows are played back at one-and-a-half times the normal speed (for scanning to the right point). We’re not entirely sure why Sony has decided to move system messages from top right to top left though, although that could be a precursor for a new feature in a forthcoming additional update.


Users can also now set their PS4s to download featured content automatically when in standby mode.


New Features with the Update:


1. Playback of Blu-ray 3D™ is now supported.


2. Sound quality has been improved during 1.5x playback with Blu-ray Disc™ and DVD videos.


3. System messages previously displayed on the top-right corner of the screen are now displayed on the top-left corner of the screen.


4. [Featured Content] has been added to Settings (Settings) > [System] > [Automatic Downloads and Uploads]. When this setting is enabled, featured content from the PlayStation®Store is automatically downloaded while the PS4™ system is either powered on or in standby mode. To download while in standby mode, go to Settings (Settings) > [Power Save Settings] > [Set Functions Available in Standby Mode], and then turn on [Connect to the Internet].


The PS4 system software update 1.75 is rolling out to consoles now, so look out for the update on your machine.
