Tomorrow the PlayStation 4 is getting a big update — and it will include a few features that owners of the console have been waiting for. The update is so big it has a codename: “Yukimura.”

Chief among the new additions in the 2.50 system update is the suspend / resume feature; originally promised when the PS4 was first announced way back in 2013, the option lets players quickly jump in and out of games by pushing the PS4’s power button, putting the console into a rest mode. You just push it again to turn it back on and pick up where you left off. Sony says the feature will be “supported by nearly all of your PS4 games.”

As for future updates, Sony is introducing a new option so you can install them automatically. There’s a lot more in the update, including better accessibility features, so be sure to check out the PlayStation blog for the full rundown. The update is expected to go live in North America tomorrow.
