User Scheduled Events can also be created in the PS App. Once shared, the event will be posted to the Community wall and members can register from there. You can also share an event to a Community. When your event starts, users who registered will automatically be added to a Party so you can start playing right away. Choose the day, time, game, and send it to individual friends or a Group. Just select ‘Create Event,’ and you’ll be able to make an invitation for an upcoming gameplay session. On the Events tab, we’re adding the ability to schedule gameplay sessions with your friends.

To receive notifications, access your Friends profile, press Options, and select ‘Notify When Online.’ For quick management of your entire Friends list choose to ‘Select All’ or ‘Deselect All’ of your friends via Settings > Notifications. Now you can choose to get notified when your friends come online. Don’t forget to turn it back on to fully experience your PS4. You will remain ‘offline’ until you chose to change your setting.

On your Profile tab, Quick Menu and login screen, we’ve added a new option called ‘Online Status.’ From here, you can choose to ‘Appear Offline.’ This could be useful if, for example, you want to fully concentrate on your game or watch a movie without interruption. With 3.50 it is now easier to play together with friends through new ways to connect, improvements to existing features and the user journey. While we outlined some of the features last month before our beta program started, we wanted to give a more detailed look at the update and share some new info. Our next major system software update for PS4, version 3.50 (codenamed MUSASHI), is out tomorrow! For those of you participating in the beta, we hope you are enjoying the new features and thank you for your ongoing feedback.
