Media Player Getting Update To Support 4K Videos On PS4 Pro

The Media Player is getting an update as soon as tomorrow for you to watch 4K videos if you own a PS4 Pro. This allows you to watch 4K videos saved on your USB device.

The PlayStation Blog posted: “Starting tomorrow, the Media Player app is getting an update to support 4K video playback on PS4 Pro. Following this update, 4K videos in mp4 format saved on a USB stick or home server can be played on the Media Player app (remember, you’ll also need a 4K compatible TV to watch the videos in 4K).”

It’s worth mentioning this only works if you are using a separate USB device that’s not used as an external storage for the PS4. This new update also allows you to watch 4K videos via PlayStation VR too.

If you have a Pro, select content on Netflix and YouTube also allow you to watch 4K videos. It’s worth mentioning the PS4 Pro still does not support 4K Blu-ray playback. Only non physical/digital 4K videos are supported thus far.
