The update includes support for playback of DivX-encoded movie files or VC-1 encoded Windows Media Video files, although DivX files larger than 2GB or those encoded in DivX 3.11 cannot be played. Other features include support for the final standard Blu-ray profile, version 1.1, for playback of Blu-ray discs encoded to support the profile.

A voice changer will be added as well, allowing PS3 users to disguise their voices online. The recent Xbox 360 Fall Update added similar support for DivX files as well as playback of files encoded in the non-proprietary XviD codec.
