Look, we all know what this is going to entail. We've all been here before, and every time, it's the same. Alright, fine, maybe not every time, but most times.

That's your lot. After using 914MB of your data allowance, your PS5's system performance will be immeasurably better, and we mean that in the literal sense. You can't measure what difference this patch makes. Still, it's worth downloading and installing it all the same.
