Sony outlined some of the new social features of v3.50 last month, which it has detailed once again today, highlighting how users will be able to change their ‘Online Status’ to Appear Offline if they want to play games or watch movies without their friends knowing they are online. Users will also be able to choose to get notified when their friends come online, and also create and schedule events to play together with friends.

The most anticipated feature of tomorrow’s update however remains the Remote Play for Mac and Windows computers:

  • Windows 8.1
  • Windows 10 or later

You’ll be able to select from the following resolution and frame rate options, depending on your Internet bandwidth.

You can use one DualShock 4 as the controller for Remote Play, which needs to be connected to your PC / Mac via a USB cable.
