PlayStation 4 Firmware 1.75 Adds 3D Blu-Ray Support
If you’ve been looking wistfully at your stack of 3D Blu-Ray movies and wondering just when you’ll be able to play them on your new consoles, we have some good news. If you’re a PlayStation 4 owner, you can now get the most out of your film library.
The latest firmware update (1.75) adds the capability, along with a few other minor adjustments. Sound quality during 1.5x playback is improved (but still amusing). System messages have moved from the right side of the screen to the left.
You can also configure your system to automatically receive “featured content.” You can enable this in the system settings, which will push material to your PS4 when powered on or in standby mode.
If you’re an Xbox One user, you’ll be getting 3D support (along with a host of new social improvements) in the August update. If you’re in the preview program, you should receive that patch soon (if you haven’t already).

Our Take
Slowly but surely, both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are adding capabilities we saw as basic in the previous iterations. We’ll probably be getting reminders for some time that the new-generation of hardware was pushed to market before it was quite ready.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
