@Leeful confirmed it working via Twitter, stating the following to quote:

"Worked Perfectly for me on 5.05. It dumped both user avatars that were on my PS4. To test the dumped files I created a new user and copied 1 set of the dumped files to my new user's folder: /system_data/priv/cache/profile/0xXXXXXXXX/ and it all worked as it should."

PlayStation Virtual Reality gamers can check out the free PS VR demo of Sci-fi adventure Eden-Tomorrow beginning right now on PlayStation Store with the official PlayStation VR launch trailer video below!

Here's some additional details on Eden-Tomorrow from Soulpix Game Director Frank Sennholz, to quote:

Eden-Tomorrow is a story driven Sci-fi action adventure inspired by classic science fiction films of the 70's and 80's, that also grapples with present-day fears of what could happen if an artificial intelligence gets out of control.

I don't want to say more, as I don't think there's anything worse than having a story spoiled before you experience it yourself. And you’ll be able to do just that today, as we’re releasing a free demo of the game at PlayStation Store.

Following their last update and the recent ReF00d release, today Sony pushed a PlayStation Vita System Software / Firmware 3.70 update live.

As always, it's advisable NOT to update as most PlayStation Vita sceners got a PS Vita or PlayStation TV to do fun stuff like jailbreaking, running exploits and homebrew on the handheld console while this revision likely patches the holes preventing such things.

We'll update this article as PlayStation Vita scene developers have a chance to examine it since Sony has yet to post an official changelog for the PS Vita 3.70 Firmware update.

Last year Sony finally granted PS4 cross-play support in the Extended Fortnite PS4 Beta, and since confirmation that Rocket League is also getting cross-play on the Nintendo Switch today Psyonix VP of Publishing Jeremy Dunham officially announced the PlayStation 4 version also has cross-play functionality now!

To quote from PS Blog: With special thanks to all of our friends and colleagues at PlayStation, we are thrilled to announce that starting right now, Rocket League has entered the PlayStation Cross-Play Beta program!

Players on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Steam PC can now randomly matchmake with or against each other in all Online match types (i.e. Casual, Competitive, and Extra Modes).

To make sure that Cross-Platform play is enabled (it is by default), head to the Main Menu, select Options and then make sure the Cross-Platform Play box is checked in the Gameplay tab. And that's all there is to it. You are now ready to play against gamers on other platforms across the world!
