Next PS4 update should allow changing the PSN name

Once set allows the PSN name no longer change on the PS4 - a circumstance which Sony fans have long been annoyed. Maybe the Japanese resolve the problem but soon with a software update.

Sony is already working on the next major firmware update for the PlayStation 4 and wants to figures appear to be guided by the wishes of the fans. As GameSpot reported, the Group conducted a survey to selected owners of the PlayStation 4. It recently sent to check what features they want in the future for console gamers. The survey was published by a user later in the forum NeoGAF.

The wish list that Sony offers PS4-owners in the survey:

Notifications when friends come online
PS1 classics and PS2 classics
File
Mode "appear offline"
Etc. Demos in the library hide / delete
Improved filter options in the library
Download avatars on the PS4
Custom Backgrounds
Wishlist for PSN Store
Increase Maximum number of players in a party
Change PSN Name

Trophies are linked to PSN name
Especially the last point of the survey should in many PS4 players are on the wish lists. Already it has long been felt by many gamers as a nuisance that might still applied on the PlayStation 3 years ago PSN name can not be change. After all, one is today perhaps no longer so proud of the nickname "Gänseblümchen123" as yet in 2006. A new PSN account is for many players but also not an option because, for example, the beloved trophies associated with the name.

In fact, Sony has one of the most mentioned in the survey features already partially implemented: wishlists can be created, at least in the web version of the PSN Stores already since 23 October. Whether the function also soon comes directly on the PlayStation 4, but remains open - just like the question whether Sony will ever realize truly all points of the update to my wishlist.

The end of September had published the most recent major firmware update with version number 3.0 for the PS4 the Japanese. The update brought inter alia YouTube Streams and the new events app on the console.
