It looks as though the next PlayStation 4 update will be bringing a number of features, some of which of we had asked for and others that have left some users wanting. Japanese gaming site PocketGamer has detailed the upcoming update and no, it doesn't include a way to change your PlayStation Network ID, folders or Pins/Bookmarks for apps.
Update 3.0 is coming about five months after the Yakimura update that brought around a number of new features — putting the timing of the PS4 updates about six months apart since launch. If 3.0 isn't bringing the features you want, you can always wait another six months.
According to update 3.0 will bring the following:
[Events] will be added to the main menu, it will inform you of upcoming PlayStation-related events.
[Community] will be added to the [Friends] menu, this feature will allow you to create a new community or join an existing one.
[Now Playing] will allow users will see a list of what their friends or Community Members are playing. The feature will also allow you to request to join a game or request a broadcast of the game.
[Now Playing] will be added to What’s New, [Friends], [Community], and [Messages].
[Messages] will be improved and will allow you to view the [Now Playing] of others, start a party and add favorite groups to your favorites list.
