Sony has rolled out new updates for both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, enhancing user experience across the board.
The PS5's latest update, version 25.02-11.00.00, is a 1.3GB download that brings several improvements and new features. One of the key enhancements is to the activities feature, where activity details are now fully displayed on cards, making it easier for players to get all the information they need at a glance. Importantly, potential spoilers remain hidden to keep the gaming experience fresh and exciting.
Another exciting addition to the PS5 is the support for Unicode 16.0 emojis, allowing users to express themselves more creatively in messages. Furthermore, there have been changes to parental controls. When setting the restriction level to Late Teens or Older, Communication and User-Generated Content will now default to Restrict. However, if you've previously set the level to Late Teens or Older, your settings will remain unchanged and shown as Customize.
The update also focuses on improving system software performance and stability, alongside enhancing messages and usability on various screens.
Here are the detailed patch notes for the PS5 update 25.02-11.00.00:
