4J Studios has confirmed that the update is now available on PlayStation 4 in North America.

Update:

On December 25, 4J Studios said, “No news yet from Sony America on the PS4 update, but they have completed testing the PS3 & PS Vita update, and those are out now.” They then added, “4J are taking a break now, but we’ll be back after the New Year celebrations to fix the bugs being found in the update.”
