Qualcuno ha messo online la nota di rilascio dell'ultima beta del Firmware 4.50 di PlayStation 4. In realtà non aggiunge moltissimi dettagli rispetto a quelli già discussi, in particolare il boost mode, di cui si è tanto chiacchierato, che libera finalmente le risorse di PlayStation 4 Pro per i giochi non aggiornati per la nuova console. Comunque c'è anche dell'altro, soprattutto riguardo a funzionalità accessorie come la creazione di profili per figli o soggetti controllati, o la segnalazione di contenuti inappropriati. Della modalità boost continua a non esserci traccia:
