Additions in the 2.40 firmware update include in-game XrossMediaBar (XMB) access that will enable players to communicate with other gamers on their PlayStation Network (PSN) friends list - now doubled in size to hold 100 contacts - as well as access other features without leaving the game they're playing.

Other additions include a new virtual ranking system called "Trophies" and a Google-based Internet search feature added to the XMB.

The latest add-ons will be available for download on 2 July 2008.
