Discover all of the amazing connectivity and personalization features that make PlayStation®4 the destination for the best gaming and entertainment experiences
PSN Account
Set up your user account to connect to PlayStation Network and access the PlayStation 4 system’s robust online features. Customize your account with a unique avatar, and tie it to your Facebook account to share your profile picture and name with your friends list. You can also change your profile’s background image and color scheme with a screenshot from your favorite game, or create your own custom dashboard theme. Use your PSN account on the PS4 system, on the web portal for the PlayStation Store, and with the PlayStation App on your mobile device.
Quick Menu
Press and hold the PS button to bring up the customizable “quick menu.” Here you can access useful settings, such as system notifications, friends list, sound and device settings, Share Play, Spotify music playback settings, power and restart options, and more.
See What's New
See what your friends are playing in What’s New, where you can view their latest shared screenshots, video clips, and unlocked trophies. You can also check out the latest trending Live from PlayStation broadcasts of top games.
Dashboard Menu
The PlayStation 4 home screen is where you’ll see your games and downloaded content, streaming services like PlayStation Vue, YouTube, and Netflix, as well as your online community features like Friends List, Notifications, Communities, and Events. Organize games and other content into custom folders, and customize your home screen with unique themes from the PlayStation Store.
Connect and Socialize

Send private messages to friends or create group chats to organize game nights. Create Parties and invite friends for group voice and text chat, and join each other’s online games or continue group chat while you all play solo.
