On Tuesday, October 28, Sony will implement sweeping changes to the PlayStation 4 operating system. Codenamed "Masamune," the console update adds numerous new features, from Share Play to a music player to YouTube integration.

GameSpot was invited to PlayStation's UK headquarters to watch an hour-long demonstration of the technology, as well as ask questions on each aspect of the new firmware. Here are the key 26 takeaway facts from the event.

Content Management

20) Homepage Tweak

The homepage belt of most recently used games has expanded to 15 items.

21) No Folders

Homepage folders will not be included in the 2.0 update.

21) Library Filters

Content stored in the PS4's library can now be arranged and organised by content type, or alphabetically, or by most recently used, or by most recently installed.

Music player

22) USB Uploads

PlayStation 4 users can play music files, uninterrupted, during gameplay and when browsing the system. A mixer, found in the options, allows users to decide on how much music comes from the USB, and how much comes from the in-game audio.

22) Hard-drive Storage

Sony representatives have said the reason why they now only allow music via USB is because they wanted to resolve the lack of music player as quickly as they could. They tell GameSpot that hard-drive storage option is not off the table, nor guaranteed.

Other Additions

23) Enhanced Voice Commands

The PS4 Camera will now respond to a few more demands. The system will not be powered on by voice, however.

24) No video playback via USB or Hard-Drives

Sony has said users will still not be able to play downloaded video or movie files via the PS4.

25) Download Pausing

Users can now pause active downloads and resume at a later date.

26) Twitter video

The PS4 is still unable to allow users to publish video clips to Twitter.

"If you wanted to be uncharitable, you could voice the suspicion that a great many baseball caps were turned backwards in the echoing board room where this project was greenlit, but with the campaign done and the city freshly filled with challenges, I don't really feel like being uncharitable. Beneath the glorious tech, and once the writing relaxes a little, Sunset Overdrive's wonderfully lurid and heartfelt - a bit like playing an old 4AD album sleeve. If you get that reference, you'll probably get this, too."
