TWITCH STREAMING IS ABOUT TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL FOR THE PS4 PRO!

The video streaming site, Twitch, is one of the most popular streaming destination for gamers on the entire internet. Now it makes a lot of sense that console manufacturers like Microsoft and Sony include Twitch broadcasting as a built-in feature of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. 

Dedicated gamers who have an upgraded to the PS4 Pro are in for a treat and also some big advantages over their peer's thanks to the upcoming PS4 firmware update that will allow the users to stream at 1080p and 60 frames per second. 

The news comes from Eurogamer, which obtained what it believes to be the update notes for PS4 update 5.0. Sony has not yet confirmed or even commented on the matter. For many viewers on Twitch, quality is everything, and a smooth video feed is of the utmost importance. The update to 1080p and 60 frames per second is mark considered the gold standard, and anything less than that is a compromise either to the clarity of the picture or the smoothness of the stream.

The top-of-the-line streaming settings will only be available to Twitch streamers playing from a PS4 Pro, so it seems likely that the Pro’s more powerful hardware has prompted Sony to allow streamers a boost in quality.

Other changes included – for both Pro and standard PS4 gamers – including being able to view system notifications via the quick menu, and additional control options for those who have tied family accounts on one PS4 system. There’s no official release date for the 5.0 update as of yet, but it’s expected to roll out sooner rather than later, so keep your eyes peeled and get excited!
