Appear Offline: With the PlayStation 3.50 System Software update, Sony has also improved a lot of social features for gamers on the platform and the first of those is the ability to appear offline.The ability to Appear Offline was created for those who wish to keep others from disturbing them when busy.
PlayStation 4 gamers who would like to utilise the function can find it on the Quick Menu login screen from which you can change your online status within seconds, similar to settings on MSN, Skype and other platforms – useful if you do not want to be bothered, to say the least!
Friend Online Notification: Another social-enhancing addition is the ability to get notifications when your friends come online. To enable this option, find ’Notify When Online’ in Friends profile -> Options menu. For easier switching, you can also ‘Select All’ or ‘Deselect All’ of your friends before setting this feature on or off.
User Scheduled Event: Players who have always wanted to schedule their own gameplay events with their mates now finally can! On the Events tab, all you have to do is click on ’Create Event’ and you’re there. You can choose when the event will start with ease and you can even share the event you create to a Community, which will allow its members to register for the event if they wish. You can also create these special occasions from the dedicated PS App.
Play Together: This is a feature that will allow all Party members to see what everyone’s playing, so that you can join your mates or start a new one together. Other additional social features include the ability to share your proudest gaming moments to your feed as you gloat, or proudly show off your achievements.
