Sony has recently rolled out new updates for both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, enhancing user experience across their latest and previous generation consoles.
For the PlayStation 5, the update version 25.02-11.00.00, weighing in at 1.3GB, introduces several notable improvements. One of the key enhancements is in the activities section, where activity details are now fully displayed on cards, ensuring a more comprehensive view while still keeping potential spoilers hidden. This update also adds support for Unicode 16.0 emojis, allowing users to express themselves more vividly in messages. Additionally, there are significant changes to parental controls. When setting the restriction level to Late Teens or Older, Communication and User-Generated Content now defaults to Restrict. However, users who have previously set this level will retain their settings, which will be displayed as Customize. The update also focuses on improving overall system software performance and stability, as well as enhancing messages and usability on various screens.
Here are the detailed patch notes for the PS5 update 25.02-11.00.00:
