Appear Offline – Your profile will now have an option to go offline which allows you to play or watch videos without your friends seeing you. This can also be accessed by holding down the PS button.

Notification When Friends Appear Online – For gamers with “squad goals” in mind, you now have the option to be notified when your friends go online. To do this, just press the options button and select “Notify When Online.”

User Scheduled Events – You can now create a schedule and make invitations for your next gameplay session. This feature can also be shared to other groups and communities in the network so other gamers can join in. When the event starts, the registered users will be automatically added to the party.
