Sony Releases Updates for PS5 and PS4: Key Features Revealed

Sony has recently rolled out updates for both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, enhancing various features and improving overall user experience.

For the PlayStation 5, update 25.02-11.00.00, weighing in at 1.3GB, brings significant improvements to activities and introduces broader emoji support. Now, activity details are fully displayed on cards, ensuring that potential spoilers remain hidden for a better gaming experience. Additionally, the update supports Unicode 16.0 emojis, which can now be used in messages, adding a fun and expressive touch to your communications.

There are also updates to parental controls; when set to Late Teens or Older, the Communication and User-Generated Content option will automatically default to Restrict. However, if you had previously set it to Late Teens or Older, your settings will remain unchanged and will be shown as Customize.

Moreover, this update enhances the system software's performance and stability, alongside improving the messages and usability on certain screens. Here are the detailed patch notes:
