Sony has started distributing a new system software update for the PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro. The update is being released in phases and weighs just over 1.2 GB. It focuses on improved performance and stability.
The update, identified as version 26.04-13.42.00, began rolling out on July 1. It applies to both the standard PS5 and the PS5 Pro models. Some users in the UK reported seeing the update appear on their devices, including through the PS Portal.
Official patch notes state that the update improves system software performance and stability. The release follows Sony's pattern of monthly system updates delivered via phased rollout.
Users can enable automatic downloads and installs through the console settings menu if the update does not appear immediately. The firmware size matches that of the previous system update.
