New PS5 system update details

The PS5 update released by Sony on February 3, 2021, is actually called PS5 Version 20.02-02.50.00. And, after you have updated your PS5 to the latest version, you will no longer be able to install the PS4 versions of any game which used to be a possibility due to a certain glitch. However, that wouldn't be a problem because many games have already upgraded their games for next-gen consoles. The latest PS5 system update seems to resolve this specific issue more dynamically.

Basically, players could insert a PS4 game disc into the PS5 of a video game that was already upgraded and installed as the PS5 version so that the game would sometimes go ahead and install the PS4 version too. Nevertheless, through this update, this specific issue would be resolved completely. Here are the full notes for Version 20.02-02.50.00 released by Sony's PlayStation -

  • This system software update improves system performance.
  • In rare cases, the PS4 version of a game would install from the disc after you upgraded to and installed the PS5 version. Now, when you insert the PS4 game disc, the PS4 version won't install unexpectedly.
