Players can use the second screen feature of the Party Chat to get access to some of the additional features that are being introduced with the new update.

Another new addition is the ability to Remote Play select PS4 games on Smartphone devices. This will require the PS4 Remote Play app to work. Controllers are supported for both Android and iOS devices where Remote Play support has been updated. After the new update, DualShock 4 controllers will now work on the iOS and Mac devices after installing the latest October update.
There might be more changes outside of these two but until the update is out, we won’t get any confirmation on it. You can look forward to downloading it later this week.
