The PS4's new update sneaks in PC and MAC Support, 4TB drive support and more

You can now play your PS4 on your PC or Mac, but the latest update also restores some old features, adds new ones, and does plenty more.

Your newest PlayStation will now support up to 4TB of storage, if you're in it for the long haul -- or really like your own game videos. The update also marks the return of USB music playback, allowing you to easily listen to your own music -- just plug in a stick and select.
Here are some of the new features:

• New "Play Together" button invite people in your party to the same game
• Online notifications can be turned on or off for specific friends, and you can even appear offline yourself.
• Streaming to DailyMotion Live now supported
• Teens (13-17) can now create limited access accounts to play offline games instead of using a sub-accoutn
• Search communities by text, language, time zone
• Share other gamers' activities to your friends
• You can tag other players when sharing video and screenshots (and it links to the right Twitter and Facebook users, if you're using those.)
• Manage storage on PlayStation Plus
• You can disable the screenshot on-screen notification for burst screen-capture mayhem, you maniac.

This is an awesome update, one you will want asap....

16. Life From PlayStation Improvements:
    
    - There's a search field on the game list now. Previously you had to use the "global" search, that'd return matches for everything (pre-recorded, videos, screenshots) and not just live streams.
    
    - You can pin up to three games that will stay on the top of the list. I watch Bloodborne and DS2 streams all the time, now I don't have to scroll down every time to find them.
    
    
17. You can set a party member limit now. From 2-8 people.
