Appear Offline

On your Profile tab, Quick Menu and login screen, we’ve added a new option called ‘Online Status.’ From here, you can choose to ‘Appear Offline.’ This could be useful if, for example, you want to fully concentrate on your game or watch a movie without interruption. You will remain ‘offline’ until you chose to change your setting. Don’t forget to turn it back on to fully experience your PS4.

Friend Online Notification

Now you can choose to get notified when your friends come online. To receive notifications, access your Friends profile, press Options, and select ‘Notify When Online.’ For quick management of your entire Friends list choose to ‘Select All’ or ‘Deselect All’ of your friends via Settings > Notifications.

User Scheduled Event

On the Events tab, we’re adding the ability to schedule gameplay sessions with your friends. Just select ‘Create Event,’ and you’ll be able to make an invitation for an upcoming gameplay session. Choose the day, time, game, and send it to individual friends or a Group. When your event starts, users who registered will automatically be added to a Party so you can start playing right away.

You can also share an event to a Community. Once shared, the event will be posted to the Community wall and members can register from there.

User Scheduled Events can also be created in the PS App.

Play Together

This feature allows all members of a Party to see what each person is playing so that you can easily join a friend’s game, or start a new game together.

Remote play to Macs is a pretty cool feature, I'm sure I'll check it out at some point.

It'd be nice if they implemented basic organizational features like folders though. So much effort put into niche things like remote play, but we still don't have any way to organize our games.

I just want to know if the Remote Play app installs a Dualshock 4 driver on my PC so that I can use it officially with other PC Games
That's all I need, I don't care about streaming PS4 games

That's not how that would work if it did, which it won't. Even if there were drivers, games would have to support it separately. Games going that route already just support it natively, without separate drivers.

I'm sorry but I missed one thing in my last post. What I really want from the official driver is just one thing. The ability to use earphones. But now I realized that having earphones connected to a wired pad is not such an advantage so I'm less interested in this update :(

Can you believe it took them this long to include a notification for when friends come online? Can you?! Because I can't fathom it.
