Update: Firmware 4.50 is now live on Network Update. Here’s a direct link if you’d prefer to download and install manually.

Sony’s announced that PS3 firmware 4.50 will arrive later today, bringing with it the ability to hide your trophies on PS3. This is something we mentioned was coming awhile back, and it was first implemented on PS Vita a few months ago. Expect it to surface in the initial PS4 firmware as well.

Here’s the full list of changes for those interested:

* Auto download of system software updates has been expanded to support all PSN users.

* Auto download support of purchases made on the Web Store will be made available to all PSN users.

* New options for trophy privacy settings allow users to set which trophies are visible.

* Data can now be transferred from PS3 to PS Vita using wi-fi and ethernet connection.

As always, we’ll update when the firmware is live.
