    Hi. With all the confusion going on overnight (I'm in Australia), does the PS4 core update happen automatically?
    If so I haven't got it.
    What do I need to do?
    Any help would be great thank you.

    You can check for updates by pressing the options button and using the corresponding menu item, e.g. if a certain game has not been played for several weeks. But why am I telling this, it's the standard procedure for all PS4 consoles and all available updates are always processed in the same way. There is no way that a different method is used for any game!
    Other than that, even when the automatic download for updates is disabled (in the settings) the console will disregard this for all recently played games and the system software.... (That's no joke, it has happened more than once.)

    Thank you for that.
    I've tried everything.
    I'll give it another go. Appreciate the advice.

    Comes up with latest version which it isn't as everything is the same as before.
    Here we go again. Ah for the simple days.

    Thank you so much for that.
    The communication with this company leaves a lot to be desired.
    Have a good day or night.

    Core update for PS4 has gone live in the UK now so hopefully you should see it soon.
