Not content to let the annually busy fall season see any dull moment, Sony has been changing up the PlayStation 4 quite a bit over the last few weeks. PSN ID changes, a cross-platform play beta, huge updates to PS Now, and more changes have been announced in the last few weeks.
It’s a surprising rush of tweaks to a console so late in its life cycle, but it’s a trend that many fans have taken notice of over the last few days. And while each announcement on its own has come as a surprise, taken all together they seemingly show quite clearly how PlayStation is setting itself up for the PS5.
