Sony will release a major PlayStation 5 firmware update on September 17, following months of beta testing. The console automatically downloads the software, though users can manually initiate installation through the Settings menu under System, System Software, and System Software Update options. Two primary features define this release.
Power Saver mode represents the update's most significant addition, accessible through Settings, System, and Power Saving menus. Future game patches will support this feature for titles like Death Stranding 2 and Demon's Souls, while Ghost of Yotei launches with compatibility. This functionality may target specifications for Sony's rumored portable gaming device, expected to be announced alongside the PlayStation 6.
The DualSense controller gains enhanced pairing capabilities that benefit PC gamers, particularly. Players can register four devices simultaneously and switch between them using controller inputs directly. This feature addresses frequent requests from users who operate PlayStation controllers across multiple platforms.
