Sony Releases Updates for PS5 and PS4: Details Inside

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

The PS5 update, version 25.02-11.00.00, is a 1.3GB download that brings several notable improvements. One of the key enhancements is the way activity details are presented; they are now fully displayed on cards, ensuring that potential spoilers remain hidden. This update also introduces support for Unicode 16.0 emojis, allowing players to express themselves more vividly in messages. Additionally, there have been adjustments to parental controls. When setting the restriction level to Late Teens or Older, Communication and User-Generated Content will automatically default to Restrict. However, if you had previously set it to this level, your settings will remain as Customize. As with any good update, system software performance and stability have been improved, alongside better messages and usability on some screens.

Here are the detailed patch notes for the PS5 update 25.02-11.00.00:
