Sony Releases Updates for PS5 and PS4: Details Inside

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 03,2025

Sony has recently rolled out new updates for both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, enhancing user experience and system performance.

For PS5 users, the update 25.02-11.00.00, which is approximately 1.3GB, introduces several improvements. One of the key enhancements is to the activities feature, where activity details are now fully displayed on cards, ensuring that potential spoilers remain hidden. This update also brings support for Unicode 16.0 emojis, allowing you to express yourself more vividly in messages. Additionally, there are updates to parental controls; setting the restriction level to Late Teens or Older will now automatically default the Communication and User-Generated Content setting to Restrict. If you've previously set it to this level, your settings will remain as Customize. The update also focuses on enhancing overall system software performance and stability, alongside improving messages and usability on certain screens.

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