Sony Releases New Updates for PS5 and PS4: What's New

Author : Riley Update:Apr 19,2025

Sony has recently rolled out updates for both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, enhancing various features and improving overall user experience.

The PS5 update, version 25.02-11.00.00, is a 1.3GB download that brings several notable improvements. One of the key enhancements is to the activities feature, where activity details are now fully displayed on cards, with potential spoilers still hidden for a better user experience. Additionally, the update introduces support for Unicode 16.0 emojis, allowing users to express themselves more vividly in messages.

On the parental control front, setting the restriction level to Late Teens or Older will now default the Communication and User-Generated Content setting to Restrict. However, if you've previously customized these settings, they will remain as Customize and won't be affected by the update. As always, Sony has also focused on improving system software performance and stability, along with enhancing messages and usability on certain screens.

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