Sony has rolled out new updates for both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, enhancing the user experience on these popular gaming consoles.
The PS5 update, version 25.02-11.00.00, weighs in at 1.3GB and brings a host of improvements. One of the key enhancements is to the activities feature, where activity details are now fully displayed on cards, ensuring that you get all the information you need without any potential spoilers ruining your gaming experience.
Another exciting addition is the support for Unicode 16.0 emojis, allowing you to express yourself more creatively in your messages.
