PS5 System Update 20.02-02.30 LIVE NOW - Improved System Performance, DualSense Controller, Wi-Fi Fixes, PS4 Improvements, and more


The PlayStation 5 launched last month to huge success, with most retailers sold out of the new console.

Games such as Miles Morales, Demon's Souls, Godfall, and Black Ops Cold War helped give Sony a big head start right out of the gate.

New Update

A new system update for the PS5 is live.

The update is the 20.02-02.30 update and also includes an update for the DualSense Controller.

It is a 868MB update, but Sony didn't really reveal what the update was for.

The update just specifies that "This system software update improves system performance."

However, more detailed patch notes have been released online.
