So, how's it going? How are you? Ah, okay. Well, we can't provide a directly appropriate response, because we don't know how you've replied to our questions. What we can tell you is that we at Push Square Towers are doing great. Why? We'll tell you why: it's PlayStation 5 firmware update time.
Yes, Sony has graced us with another system software update for PS5. Version 21.02-04.03.00 comes in at 913.7 MB, and it's available to download to your console right now. We are blessed on this blustery, overcast Wednesday. So, what does the new PS5 firmware update do?
Why don't you take a wild, swinging guess what it does? We'll put the kettle on while you have a think.
What were we thinking? Making a cup of tea takes way longer than it takes for you to simply scroll down.
Yes, this latest firmware update "improves system performance", as you no doubt guessed.
If you did get it right, you win. What do you win? Well, normally we'd say you've won some biscuits, but frankly we can't commit to sending each of you a packet of custard creams. Pop onto Google and image search your favourite biscuits. Good choice.
What is your favourite biscuit, or cookie, if you're of an American persuasion? Get that PS5 firmware update sorted, and tell us all about your biscuit preferences in the comments section below.

I think these have to be a personal favourite of mine:
Not stability this time, it’s about Performance yeah.
Patch notes: just shut up and download it nerd
Custard creams 4TW
Can't go wrong with Oreos. 😎
RIP suspended Returnal runs again
Lovely take on a non story but well told 👍🏻 Now I fancy a biccie
@RogerRoger I've had to look those up. Apparently it's similar to gingerbread? Either way, they look great.
Hobnobs
Hope this doesn't start a biscuit war, biscuit warriors will be taking to twitter to defend their favourite brand and point out the poor texture quality and flavour of rival biscuits
Still waiting for those Jaffa cakes Sammy promised a couple of years ago for filling out your reader survey!
Is it going to fix diablo 2 so i can actually play it for more than 5 mins without it crashing?
Three letters... VRR, its almost a year later than Microsoft.
Lotus Biscoff. Because I'm a ponce
Cake bar lovers, get onto those new halloween special blackberry Jaffa Cakes bars. They are ridiculously delicious.
Jaffa Cakes for da win!
@Quintumply any news of Fifa ending it's partnership with Ea Sports?
Borders dark chocolate gingers ftw!
@Dutch_Bullet Don't get your hopes high as they managed to mess their TVs VRR updates to absolute disaster.
Jaffa Cake.
Come at me.
Anyone trying to claim Jaffa Cakes are biscuits are on EXTREMELY thin ice.
I have to give credit for the effort of finally making an article that makes these firmware updates the complete joke they are.
But, as I'm downloading, I'll take either peanut butter or iced molasses cookies....
Always appreciate some extra stability and for the record my mum's home bakes are way better than any shop bought biscuit.
Chocolate hobnobs ftw
Fox's Creams are along with Jaffa Cakes are my favourite but I haven't gone near them for a long time as they were making me put a bit of weight on so I only buy them the odd time now. I'm actually almost underweight for my age now as a result but not by much.
Tesco cookies right now. Their Finest cookies always hit the spot.
Can't beat a Custard Cream dunked into a big mug of tea. Been my go-to biscuit since I was a kid.
SUBNAUTICA:BELOW ZERO HAS FREE TRIAL ON PSN. Been up for a couple weeks expires next week.
@RogerRoger @Quintumply there was a legal case about the difference between a biscuit and a cake, because one attracts VAT and the other doesn't. Jaffa Cakes are, indeed, cakes. The criteria are discussed here, so you can review and make up your own mind about lebkuchen, with which I am not familiar: https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-food/vfood6260
Fun fact - Pringles once tried to argue that they were not a crisp too, having too much non-potato dough and a uniform, unnatural shape. However, Pringles lost their appeal and they have officially been crisps since 2009. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8060204.stm
Story is about firmware.....comments are about snack food. I had to do a double take and make sure this wasn't a Kate Gray article!
@zebric21 Ugh, yes. I am worried about that! Every time I see there's a software update available I'm like "omg VRR finally happening" but no...
@Quintumply Oh stop it. I remember the first time my mum bought them. She let me have one and I ended up eating the whole packet, they are the crack of the biscuit world. I was in so much trouble 🤣
@Rob_230 Jaffa Cakes are a cake and not a biscuit. There was a court case and everything https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa_Cakes
I'll bite lol...maryland choc chip cookies..cant beat them but chocolate hob nobs are a very close 2nd..
Best Playstation ever on the right hand side of the picture...
Got my hopes up that a Playstation could once again finally emulate the best seller but no
@Dutch_Bullet 4K UI took Microshaft 8-9months. And Exclusives are taking ages on Trashbox. Your point is?
@marty8370 Guys like you is what makes the PS community so toxic, just relax! Every platform has pro's and cons. The reason I want Sony to implement is because it directly impact the gameplay. That said "Microshaft" is doing great at the moment with Forza and Halo coming this holiday .
Is that only console update, OR also that hellishly annoying controler update too?
My answer was :
It gives gaming sites something cool to talk about?
Wrong?
Under options - system software - update of system function
This was now the first time that an update here was possible. I don’t know what’s changed but something was updated.
@marty8370 Xbox Series consoles are already dead. There is nothing to compete with the Ps5.
Xbox is nice for 3rd parties or old games but there is nearly nothing exciting coming in the future.
@djlard no controller update
Chocolate digestives.
Word on the net is that this latest update (21.10.2021) is to stop a possible PS5 exploit as new PS4 /PS5 vulnerability's have been found. Obviously sony are patching the possible exploit possibilities before they're made into a full blown PS5 hack where people can play games for free etc like older PS4's.
@reeneman you are toxic and not even a word of what you said was based on real information. Why do you care which system is selling more, sony and microsoft both take a loss per sale till it gets cheaper to make the ps5 and series consoles. Chip and semiconductor shortages doesnt help prices either add scalpers too that... ill be playing mass effect legendary, assassins creed valhalla which are better games then any ps5 exclusive thats came out so far. Also as i got game pass ultimate have forza and halo this christmas. I might get kena for cheap.....
Won’t get involved in the gaming wars but biscuit wars, now you’re talking my language!
Chocolate Hobnob but only after it’s been in the fridge
@hoffa007 yeah it's in the patch notes for the firmware update.😀
My Favs

@Gh05tm4ch1n3 I just tell the truth.
There is nothing with these series consoles. There was a lot of hype about the 12 TF (most powerful Blabla), backwards compatibility, …
But what happened now? There is nothing left. Forza 5 will be great yes but are you really excited about these Bethesda titles? What about Halo? Zero news about the Singleplayer campaign so far.
Fable, Hellblade 2 … just wait until e3 like for years.
There is simply nothing. The whole Plattform can not compete with the PlayStation.
It’s nothing against the Xbox, I was a huge fan until the 360 as well… but PlayStation is simply another league. Even proven by sales numbers for years now.
If only it could allow me to put my console in sleep mode without a green screen of death - yeah not holding my breath
@Reeneman you obviously dont know what your talking about. If you dont like xbox just say so. I honestly think your missing out.
Have fun with trashstation 5 ps4 ports.
@Gh05tm4ch1n3 even simple PS4 60 fps ports offer more fun and quality as the whole Xbox lineup.
Peek Freans Fruit Creme. And Golden Oreos.
Too many biscuits to choose from so leaving this here.. https://youtu.be/anRKT3hYz60
well, considering history with playstations bricking on me through downloading from the system, i've always just downloaded off the website an manually installed but lately, they seem to just not be linking the file correctly. locked out of my PS5 online unless I choose to risk making my system a paperweight which i'm not gonna do.
thats fine i have the series, switch, an my pc. not like i need to play on it right this second, i can wait for sony to fix their mess.
