Part 1: Download and install PS4 Software Update 3.11
As PlayStation 4 won’t play Blu-rays or DVDs out of the box, customers have to install the software update when first getting it.
If the PS4 is connected to the Internet, go to the function screen, select “Settings” -> “System Software Update”, and update to the latest system software 3.11. In case the PS4 has no Internet connection for the time being, users can also use an external disc or USB storage to update the console system. (Download PS4 system update file, about 308 MB)
