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.

    FYI the comment wasnt about it being posted on EG it was about the two posts on here earlier. Two diff. blog posts about the same subject.

    thought i was being a tad harsh so changed it ;)

  8. It didn’t come from EG :D

  9. Nice edit. I see all :)

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

  11. Hopefully in time for when Pat wakes up.

  12. 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.

  13. Finally! That is good news. Can’t come soon enough.

    cross game communication really is the only thing that I miss

  15. 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! :-D

  16. 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.

  17. Trophies = Achievements?
