Sponsored

Sony is rolling out a minor PlayStation 5 update today, December 3.

The PS5 system software will be updated to version 25.08-12.40.00 in a phased release, Sony said. The patch notes, below, are brief and to the point. They indicate an improvement to messages and usability on some screens, and our old friends performance and stability make yet another appearance.

That’s it! Sony didn’t say exactly how it’s improved messages or usability, or provide any images showing the difference the update made. And that ‘system software performance and stability’ phrase is as vague as ever.
