Sony has rolled out new updates for both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, enhancing various features of these popular gaming consoles.
The PS5's latest update, version 25.02-11.00.00, is a 1.3GB download that brings significant improvements to the user experience. One of the key enhancements is to the activities feature, where details are now fully displayed on cards, while still keeping potential spoilers hidden for a better gaming experience. Additionally, the update introduces support for Unicode 16.0 emojis, allowing players to express themselves more vividly in messages.
For families, there are important changes to parental controls. When set to Late Teens or Older, the Communication and User-Generated Content setting will default to Restrict. This change ensures a safer environment for younger gamers, though existing settings set to Late Teens or Older will remain as Customize without changes.
As with any system update, Sony has also improved the overall performance and stability of the PS5's system software. The update also enhances the messages and usability on certain screens, making navigation smoother and more intuitive.
Here are the detailed patch notes for the PS5 update 25.02-11.00.00:
