Sony has provided some details of what to expect from its upcoming PlayStation 4 software update. The company has reportedly taken user feedback into account and is planning two significant upgrades for the v1.7 update – the ability to pre-load games and an all new video editing app called SHAREfactory.

The SHAREfactory app will allow users to combine and personalize captured gameplay clips, making use of filters, transitions and themes, as well as the ability to add stickers and text to the upload.
The software will allow users to record picture-in-picture video commentary for their gameplay clips using the PlayStation Camera, a Kinect-like accessory sold separately to the console itself. Lastly, users will be able to add audio tracks to their videos, and even import original music. SHAREfactory videos can be shared on Facebook or transferred to USB external storage to be uploaded elsewhere.
The new update will make some other tweaks to the Share service, including the ability to change who you share clips with from the Share menu (rather than having to go into settings) and the option to turn of HDCP, allowing for video capture directly from the HDMI output.
While these are definitely welcome additions to Sony’s system, the company has made it clear that these improvements represent just a glimpse of what we can expect from the upcoming update, with more details to emerge as we approach the as-of-yet unannounced release date.
