PS4 System Software update 5.05 releases

No, it's not the 5.50 update.

Sony has opened up beta registration for the next big system update, but don’t confuse it with the recently released update on the PlayStation 4. While the PS4’s recent update is the similar as far as numbers go, it’s not the same.

The latest PS4 update, 5.05, does exactly what most PlayStation updates do, make the system perform better. Long gone are the days of stability updates, we have been in the era of performance updates for the PS4 for a while now. Check out the full details of update 5.05 below.

Main features in version 5.05 update

  • This system software update improves system performance.

‘Performance’ is a vague term at Sony and can mean anything from cleaning up a few bugs to upping security on PSN.

In the next few weeks, Sony will be releasing the 5.50 beta update, which should feature more than just a performance upgrade. PlayStation fans have been asking for a number of things, including a way to change PlayStation IDs, for a while now. There’s no telling what this update will hold, but users in the beta program will be the first to know.

Signing up for future betas, in addition to the 5.50 beta, will give players access to an exclusive PSN avatar, so there’s that.
