We recently reported about some of the new features that might be included in the next major software update for the PlayStation 4. Sony today confirmed the PS4 system software version 5.0. Codenamed NOBUNAGA, it’s out today for those who were selected to be a beta tester for the next major PS4 system update.
One of the biggest features included in this update is Family Accounts. The current master/sub-account system is being redesigned to make it more family friendly.
The new “family on PSN” feature will enable users to set up PSN accounts for children and customize parental control settings for each user. All controls can be individually controlled for each child account.
Sony is adding a new “Custom Lists” tab on the Friends screen in place of the existing “Favorite Groups” tab. This will enable PS4 owners to create and edit custom list of friends and arrange them into specific grounds based on the games they play or the people they like to play games with online.
As previously reported, PlayStation 4 system software update version 5.0 brings the ability to stream gameplay in 1080p at 60 frames-per-second via Twitch to PlayStation 4 Pro owners. Sony has finally added a new setting which enables users to disable pop-up notifications when they’re watching a movie or TV show on their console. This has remained a pain point for users and it’s good that Sony has finally addressed it.
All this and more will be included in the full system software release for the PlayStation 4 which will take place in a couple of months.

More and more legacy car manufacturers are jumping on the electric car bandwagon. Seeing the success that has come Tesla’s way, many manufacturers have now decided that they want a piece of the electric car pie as well. South Korea-based Hyundai has now confirmed that it’s placing electric cars at the center of its future product strategy.
The company is planning to come out with a long-range premium electric car in the future. This is a strategic shift for Hyundai. It previously threw its weight behind fuel cell technology but that hasn’t taken off.
Electric cars are now the go-to option for those looking to purchase an eco-friendly vehicle. The popularity of electric cars is bound to increase significantly as new models hit the market in the coming years.
Hyundai is planning to launch an all electric sedan under its premium Genesis brand in 2021. The new car will have a range of 310 miles per charge. Hyundai is also going to launch an electric version of its Kona small SUV which will offer a range of 240 miles. This particular vehicle will be launched by the first half of 2018.
The company’s future plans include eight battery-powered electric cars. Hyundai is actually developing its first dedicated electric car platform which will enable it to produce multiple models with longer range on one platform.

The backward compatibility feature of the Xbox One enables gamers to play games on the current-generation console that were originally released for the Xbox 360. There are dozens of Xbox 360 games that are backward compatible with the Xbox One and the list continues to grow with each passing month. The company has confirmed today that Battlefield: Bad Company for Xbox One is now available, courtesy of backward compatibility.
Battlefield: Bad Company was released for consoles back in 2008. It basically offers the same first-person shooter combat experience that the franchise is popular for. It had a full single-player campaign even though many previous titles in the Battlefield franchise have focused more on the multiplayer gaming experience.
“Battlefield: Bad Company follows a wayward band of ordinary soldiers who decide that sometimes the gratitude of a nation just isn’t enough. Featuring a dramatic storyline loaded with a unique attitude, the game delivers the series’ trademark sandbox gameplay in a universe where almost everything is destructible,” reads the game’s official description.
The sequels to this game, Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3, are already available for the Xbox One thanks to the magic of backward compatibility. Those who already own this title on the Xbox 360 can download it right away and start playing it. It’s also available for purchase via the Xbox Store starting today for $14.99.

Instagram is on a roll these days, launching new features to make sure that users stay interested in its photo sharing service. Just yesterday, Instagram made its service more conversational by launching comment threads. Today, the Facebook-owned service has introduced new ways to reply with photos and videos.
Instagram users can already reply to videos, photos, and reshared posts they receive in their DMs with a photo and video of their own. In order to clear up the confusion, Instagram will now automatically turn the photo or video that the user replies to as a sticker. That sticker will show up in their reply so that everyone knows which post has been responded to.
It’s also possible to send a split-screen reply now by tapping on the sticker. Users can customize it further by drawing on the sticker. They can resize the sticker, draw on it, and even add extra stickers should they feel like it.
It’s a simple solution from Instagram that’s going to reduce confusion for its users. It superimposes the content over the reply to ensure that users know precisely what the reply was for.
These updates are being rolled out as part of Instagram version 10.34 which is available right now for iOS and Android.
