PS4 Pro Update: Here's What The 4K Playback Feature Can Do

PS4 Pro receives an update from Sony to introduce the 4K video playback through the Media Player app. Once installed, the console owners in Europe with 4K TVs are expected to play 4K mp4 files from USB sticks or devices on their home network.

The PS4 Pro Media Player app will automatically find the home network as a media option, which means finding the 4K video files should be an easy process. Meantime, Sony announced that the USB storage that has been formatted as extended storage for the PS4 could only hold those saved game files and apps.

PS4 Pro update is also expected to enhance the PS VR experience by allowing support for playback of 4K VR video. Given the fact that the PS VR display resolution is 1920xRGBx1080, the Japanese company revealed that the 4K videos should be able to play with higher picture quality than the HD VR videos. However, the new update does not include Media Player support for high dynamic range video.

Meanwhile, the 4K capabilities of PS4 Pro and the Xbox One have been compared, and the lack of non-gaming 4K support of PS4 Pro has been noted. That said, the fans welcome the new Media Player update in its own right and as a sign that Sony appears intent on giving more 4K options to the step-up version of the current console generation, Forbes reported.

PS4 Pro with 4K is being offered at Argos for a more affordable price. According to reports, Argos' eBay page is hosting an excellent deal through a voucher code, which could help buyers save big on a new Sony console. Moreover, the items can also be delivered or pickup in-store too.

PS4 Pro buyers can save a huge £35 on a new console by using the voucher code C10ARGOS on Argo's eBay page. The offer is the cheapest deal around for the Sony console, Tech Radar reported. Watch New PS4 Pro Boost Mode - PS4 Patch Update 4.50 Features Review here:
