Sony has finally announced the release of PS4 Ultimate Player Edition with 1TB storage in Europe and PAL territories this coming July 15. A streamline process was employed in creating this device for more enjoyable gaming action.

Because of the fact that this latest version offers twice the storage of the previous PSP4 model, this new console will allow users to extend play with greater add-on content, save and share even more of gaming highlights, and  download more of the games to PS4.

The manufacturers have modernized the method of making this new PS4 as consoles develop further into their lifespan. In addition, it is now combined with advances in chip design that this leads to the appearance of smaller, or at the very least lighter, models of those consoles.

According to Sony, 10 percent will be reduced to its weight and power utilization will be down by 8 percent compared to existing PS4 models. The new PS4  system's hard drive bay cover will now come out in a matte finish, which Sony says gives the system "a more casual look." This new PS4 appears in both white and black color options with neither looking as good as the console's 20th anniversary edition.

Same as Microsoft's new 1TB Xbox One console which was launched prior to E3, the latest PS4 console's look stays the same except housing an extended hard drive double the size of the largest available since launch.

Furthermore, the Japanese company also utilized today to revolve out transformations to its PlayStation companion app. This software available on iOS and Android will now let an exchange of gift codes without turning console on and displays comments received from audience while streaming.

The pricing information for the new PS4 model has not yet announced by Sony, checking it out with local retailers is what they are suggesting instead.

The new PS4 with 1TB storage will be arriving first to Japan before the end of June. Next is to Europe on July 15, and North America in the same month.
