A new PlayStation 5 system software update is out now, but don’t expect a whole lot in terms of new features. This update, like many before it, is focused on system stability.
The new update, which brings the PS5 up to version 25.08-12.40.00, makes improvements to messages and usability on some screens, and also improves performance and stability generally.
