Yukimura will introduce the suspend/resume feature, which will allow players to suspend and resume games "near-instantly" with the power button. By doing this, the PS4 can be put into standby mode without interrupting the play session. Additionally, the update will have the console take a screenshot at the moment a trophy is earned in-game, giving players the option to share it.

The update will allow players under the age of 18 using PS4 sub-accounts to upgrade to a master account when they turn 18 years-old. In addition, players will have the option to import Facebook friends directly onto their PS4 friends list.

A number of UI options will also be introduced in the update, including an inverted screen colour option, text-to-speech, bolder fonts, and higher contrast options. The PS4 system software update 2.5 will be available "soon" to PS4 users in Australia.
