Since the Playstation 4’s 2.0 update, gamers with the system have been able to place the system into ‘rest mode’ – which is the new name for standby mode – but doing so has caused some issues.
After placing the console into rest mode, some gamers were met with the unfortunate bug that prevented their console from booting back up again. Speaking to GameSpot about the issue, Sony said: “We are aware of issues reported by some PS4 users following the release of PS4’s latest system software update, v2.00. We are investigating these issues and will provide an update as soon as we have more information.”
It appears that solution is on the way, as Sony posted via the Playstation Twitter that a fix was coming soon via the 2.01 update, which appears to be rolling out now. Here’s hoping the issue is resolved quickly via the new update.
The 2.0 update, aside from bugs, brings themes and Share Play, amongst other features, to the console.
