Latest PS5 Firmware Update Is Available to Download Now

Good, improved performance is always welcome

Also RIP all those suspended Returnal runs

Has anyone worked out what these seemingly random numbers refer to? Doesn't even make sense as a date?

Still waiting for one that says "makes the PS5 physically smaller".

SSD slot unlock, please

@sanderson72 Just call it 3.21, then it‘s much easier to get the system.

@Voltan
indeed, let the whinging commence!!

Let's hope there will be no more error NP-103374-8
It's when you install a PS4 title and the PS5 install it incorrectly, therefore making any trophy syncing impossible. Factory reset deletes save files and installed games) or deleting the main user (only deletes save files) is necessary to solve the issue.
It happened to my twice and now every time I buy a new PS4 game, I download and install it on my PS4 first... just to be sure.

Has anyone had a ps5 issue when your on the home screen the controller constantly wants to go up. I press down on the d pad and it immediately goes back up. Fine in games and the log on screen. Restart the system fine for a while but eventually the fault returns

@Voltan
Almost gave up in the last biome getting crashes on a run to the last boss, it was frustating as hell

@wes1234 sounds like drift I had that on one of my controllers phoned Sony had it back within a week all fixed.

@David187 thanks for the reply. I bought another ps5 controller and same fault only on the home screen. I've tried restoring factory settings on both the ps5 and controllers no luck so far

I just want folder man, is it that hard to do? Sigh..

Sony releases the changelog mostly a couple of hours or even one day later.
With this version number I guess we won’t see anything exciting in the changelog.

Haven’t had an issue with my system so far since day one. Wi-Fi connection issues after 2.4 / 5 GHz switches were fixed with the large April update. Otherwise I just had one crash in the standby mode with the Mafia Remake running in the background.
That’s all.

@wes1234 so it only does that on the home menu? not games?

@David187 yeah only the home screen. It'll be ok after a restart for a while, then I'll play something eventually exit to home screen and It'll return. The only way I can then turn it off is pressing and holding the button on the ps5

@wes1234 That's an odd one🤔 the controllers all updated with the latest firmware?

Learned the hard way it will close all your apps in rest mode with auto update turned on. Housemarque, what the actual heck were you thinking!? If you are going to go through the effort of telling people rest mode is your only option to pause a run, maybe let people know it defaults to closing all your software on updating.

Hoping it fixes my discs being unrecognised if left in when the PS5 is switched off. Only works if I leave a game running in rest mode. Sick of keep having to eject and reinsert disc.

@David187 yeah they've both been updated the second controller was only bought yesterday. Very frustrating

I've been having some problems with games freezing and connectivity issues, particularly with Youtube, so I hope this helps.

@ViolentEntity why do you want a web browser on a console?

"Do you guys not have phones" may be a rubbish argument for releasing a game in a beloved franchise on mobile only, but it's a pretty good argument for not adding a web browser on a console

I can't think of a more tedious interface for web browsing than a console controller

@Olmaz
I seen you on twitter & Reddit small world

I haven't had any problems with my PS5, but I've only been playing native/native cross gen PS5 game's on my PS5. I play my PS4 game's on my PS4 PRO that way my PS5 space doesn't get used up quickly.

@wes1234 best bet is to send it to Sony I had the same issue but it affected games as well when I got the controller back it was fine.

Everyone jokes when we get an update improving system performance…but you just know Sony is brewing up a pretty substantial update that’ll drop one of these days.

Just remember the PS4 underwent some pretty significant changes/additions 1-2 years following release from a UI overhaul to Share Play & even HDR. Things that are now standard on PS5 since launch, so who knows what they’ll improve next.

@banacheck Small world indeed!
I'm trying my best to get an acknowledgement from Sony. I mean, how hard could it be to have the manufacturer of a console to give an official list of error codes and their explanation... or even better their solution. Aren't they the ones encoding these error codes?
Baffling really, which let us with very vague knowledge about the issue, even after a dev chimed in on Reddit.
As for playing PS4 game son your PS4pro, you're missing out. First you have the obvious upgrades (resolution, fps, loading times), but the auto-hdr of the PS5 is excellent (and not advertised enough! I know some hate it, but I love it and find it incredible for 99% of the games).

@Voltan haha returnal indeed

I wish they'd fix the issue where the disc drive spins up at full speed every hour.

Had my PS5 for 2 weeks now and had a few crashes and annoying little issues. Hopefully today's firmware will make things a little better. I've mainly enjoyed the PS5 but has been spoilt a little with crashes and restarts.

@wes1234 Try to reinstall system firmware again, I think it's a system software bug.

Mine still crashes when using rest mode during a native PS5 game. It's so weird to me that they haven't fixed this yet.

A problem I’m having is if I leave a game disc in after playing and then turn off ps5 when I turn it on again it says disc unsupported all I have to do is remove disc and put back in and it reads it again but it’s still annoying.

I will add another unrecognized disk issue. I tend to play a single game for a long period of time and leave the disk in the PS5. It seems like the PS5 does not spin up the disk and check it when turning it on with your current game left in the drive.

Hard to believe it's been 8 months since release and these things still aren't being sold in stores.

@wes1234 I had this problem and eventually turned out to be controller "drift" in the analogue stick. Sent it to Sony and they sent me a new one.

@wes1234 yes, I have that problem but it also happens in game. So it sounds like you have drift as well. I'm sending my controller to Sony later today actually.

No issue with mine and I'd like them to patch VRR just so Digital Foundry stops talking about it even if it's useless to me haha

That said I'm curious to see what option there is going to be for expandable internal SSD storage. It's time they bring that tbh.

@wes1234 Might be worth trying it wired with the controller communication set to USB.

@Futureshark
"Whinging"?

@Papasears Me too

@BrettAwesome
Google is your friend.

whinge
BRITISH
verb
gerund or present participle: whinging
complain persistently and in a peevish or irritating way.
"stop whingeing and get on with it!"

@Futureshark
Oh...so a very British version of whining?
Then you can no longer say "do you want cheese with that whine?"
Then how about "do you want hot sauce with that whinge?" 😂
Or is the pronunciation closer to that of "wrench"?

Indeed!!
Yes you could pronounce it like chicken wings.
Hot whinge with chips (fries) 😉👍

@Quintumply , Guys, I think this diserves some investigation, my PS5 is turning on by itself randomly , it looks like is triggered by the media remote, but how? is the mic open all the time ? are they collecting data with that media remote? a security concern. ? here are multiple reports of the same. https://www.reddit.com/r/playstation/comments/mw03nv/ps5_turning_on_by_itself_w_media_remote/
