A new firmware update–Version: 25.06-12.02.00–for the PlayStation 5 console has gone live, and unsurprisingly, it doesn’t do much. What this new update does is improve the security on your device, but don’t expect to see any new major features added to your PS5 once it has been installed.
“We’ve made some security fixes to the system software,” reads the very succinct update notes. There have been several other updates to the console throughout 2025, with notable examples being the return of the classic PlayStation console user interfaces and big changes to activity settings. Beyond that, 2025 has been a year of incremental improvements and tweaks to the PS5 user experience.
In other PlayStation news, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the first system’s launch in the US and Europe, and to celebrate, Sony has unveiled new collectibles. Gaming historians will want to check out PlayStation: The First 30 Years, a deluxe book chronicling the creation of the very first PlayStation console.
