Sony Releases PS5 and PS4 Updates: Details Inside

by Evelyn May 07,2025

Sony has rolled out new updates for both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, enhancing various features and improving overall system performance.

For PS5 users, update 25.02-11.00.00, weighing in at 1.3GB, brings several enhancements. One of the key improvements is in the activities section, where details are now fully displayed on cards, ensuring that potential spoilers remain hidden. Additionally, the update introduces support for Unicode 16.0 emojis, allowing users to express themselves more vividly in messages. There are also changes to parental controls; setting the restriction level to Late Teens or Older will now default Communication and User-Generated Content to Restrict. Users who have previously set this level will see their settings as Customize, ensuring their preferences are not altered. Beyond these, the update bolsters system software performance and stability, alongside refining messages and usability on certain screens.

Here are the detailed patch notes for the PS5 update 25.02-11.00.00:
