The PS4 gets folders and HDR today with its 4.0 update

Also major UI changes

Sony’s “Shingen” update (also known as 4.0) is going live today on the PS4. It’s mostly just a big UI update, and will provide new looks for the quick, share, and library sections, as well as a much-requested feature — folders.

The quick menu now covers a portion of the screen in-game so you can swap music around without obfuscating the entire experience, and there’s also a few new minor features like easy PS4 data transfers, HDR support, and pre-PS4 Pro tablesetting options (it’s out on November 10).

All of this still doesn’t really change the fact that I like the current Xbox One interface better, but improvements (especially folders, because I had that XMB knockoff layout on PS4) are always welcome. Next stop, backward compatibility and PSN name changes? Sony probably says “keep dreamin’ kid.”
