Rumour: PS3 Firmware 2.4 to include in-game XMB and Trophy support
May 29th, 2008 @ 21:20
Update: We’ve now been told that in-game XMB in being checked for full library compatibility and that user-music and Trophies will only work with games created with the brand new tools. More here.
Update 2: The release is now rumoured for June. We’re waiting on comment from SCEE.
Videogaming247 has it on good authority that the upcoming PS3 Firmware 2.4 will include in-game XMB and Trophy support.
We’re told that the added XMB feature allows users to play their own music in-game.
Programming tools to support the update have apparently now gone out to developers.
We’re unaware that a release date for the software has been set. Sony has already said that in-game XMB wil be added to PS3’s functionality this summer.
This is unconfirmed. Just remember where you heard it first.

I wonder how long it will take a dev to leak the info on the new functionality.

Hopefully in time for when Pat wakes up.

Actually i know where i heard it first: My insider and i posted the news on a site i’m part of. Well it was all over N4G but this site didn’t pick up on the story.

cross game communication really is the only thing that I miss

Didn’t we already know about the trophy support? It was doing the rumourang about a month ago. You even ran a story on it!

I think this is a lot more solid. We knew Trophies were going to be included at some point, but not in the same update as in-game XMB, which in itself wasn’t confirmed.
Maybe I’m completely wrong, though. It’s all a bit blurry.

Trophies = Achievements?
