PlayStation Home v1.3 out in September

It’s for real, guys! the next upgrade for the PlayStation Home is coming, and it’s gonna be huge! From a Sony press release, and as posted on the PlayStation Blog, we receive details as to what’s gonna be included in the swell package.

Thanks to naroon201 for the tip!

First of, from now on (at least from the moment the next upgrade goes live), you will be able to launch into any PS3 game directly from Home. No more of those logout hassles. For now, though, the titles that will be fully supporting game launching are Street Fighter IV, Resistance 2, MotorStorm and Far Cry 2. We’re sure they’ll be adding more later on, so just keep an eye out for their markers that appear as separate icons over an avatar’s head. There will also be different degrees of additional multiplayer functionality built in.

They’re also adding an in-store item previewing option, which will allow you to “fit” clothes into your character in 3D. You can also rent and purchase consumables (for select items). Along with these changes would be the implementation of certain tweaks with the customization of your Home experience. Additional emotes have also been put in, along with many others.

And by the way, SingStar‘s space will also be launched around the same time as the Home v1.3 upgrade goes live, so watch out for that as well. There’ll be much more on the list too, and they’re promising to complete the line-up for your information as we near the launch.

Speaking of which, PlayStation Home v1.3 upgrade is set to go live on September – that’s just a couple of weeks away, so watch out for that.
