PS4 Update 4.01 Out Now, Here's What It Does (Not Much)

A new PlayStation 4 update is now available, but don't expect new features or any big changes.

The next time you turn on your PS4, you'll notice PS4 v4.01 is available to download. It's a relatively small install, coming in at 312.1 MB. The patch notes are one line long, explaining that the system software update "improves the quality of the system performance." No specifics were provided.

The PS4's stability is said to have been improved with this update. People on NeoGAF are capitalizing on the opportunity by releasing some pretty excellent "PS4 stability" gifs. Go have a look for yourself.

PS4 4.00, the console's latest major update, came out in September. It introduced folders for managing games and apps, while some menus were also redesigned. PS4 4.00 also added HDR support for all PS4s.
