Version 2.55 of the PlayStation 4 system software is now available. The 233 MB update fixes some stability issues that cropped up when using some of the PS4 features.
The update, which can be done either as an iterative install or as a fresh installation, follows the 2.50 update which saw quite a few changes to the PS4 ecosystem.

Among the changes in the 2.50 PS4 software update is the ability for the PS4 to keep applications suspended in rest mode, meaning games could be accessed instantly on power-up provided they were the last game played before the system powered-down.
Other updates that came along at the end of March with the 2.50 update included adding the option to back-up to a USB storage device, the ability to upload clips to Dailymotion, new accessibility options, and the renaming of “PSN” to “PlayStation Network.”
The 2.50 update released on March 26, and the 2.55 stability fix is available beginning today. Of course, Sony recommends you keep your system software updated with the latest version for security and stability reasons, but that’s just good practice for pretty much all software.
This stability update comes hot off a strong showing from Sony at E3 2015. The show was a wish-fulfillment for many, with games like The Last Guardian, a proper Final Fantasy VII remake, and a Shenmue sequel all part of Sony’s showing.
