It looks as though the next PlayStation 4 update will be bringing a number of features, some of which of we had asked for and others that have left some users wanting. Japanese gaming site PocketGamer has detailed the upcoming update and no, it doesn't include a way to change your PlayStation Network ID, folders or Pins/Bookmarks for apps.

Update 3.0 is coming about five months after the Yakimura update that brought around a number of new features — putting the timing of the PS4 updates about six months apart since launch. If 3.0 isn't bringing the features you want, you can always wait another six months.

According to update 3.0 will bring the following:
