Sony Releases PS5 and PS4 Updates: Key Features Revealed

Author : Aaron Apr 09,2025

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

The PS5's latest update, version 25.02-11.00.00, is a 1.3GB download that brings 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 introduces support for Unicode 16.0 emojis, allowing users to express themselves more vividly in messages. Additionally, there are changes to parental controls; when set to Late Teens or Older, the Communication and User-Generated Content will default to Restrict. However, if you had previously set this level, your settings will remain as Customize. The update also focuses 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:
