PS5 System Software Update 25.06-12.02.00 Brings Security Fixes

Sony has released a new PlayStation 5 system software update, version 25.06-12.02.00. This update is relatively minor and focuses primarily on security fixes, with no additional features highlighted by the company.

The previous major update, version 25.06-12.00.00, introduced significant enhancements such as a new power saver mode for supported games, controller device pairing improvements, and stability updates across PS5 peripherals.

PlayStation 5 Important New System Update Officially Rolled Out

Sony has rolled out the latest PlayStation 5 system update, and it should be available to all as you read this article (I’ve just downloaded it to my console).

Some system updates are more exciting than others, especially when they add new console features like snazzy themes, but all are important in unique ways, even those that are for mundane “system stability”.

For the most part, whether it’s on PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo, system updates ensure that our consoles are running as smoothly as possible, which should iron out any hard crashes, and whatnot. However, that never truly eradicates issues, but it helps (mostly).

PS4 and PS5 Get New System Updates for October 2025

Sony has kicked off October by releasing new system updates for both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, which are now available to download for all users worldwide. Unfortunately, just like many of the consoles' previous updates, Sony hasn't made any significant changes, as the PlayStation 5's 25.06-12.02.00 update and the PlayStation 4's 13.02 patch are once again focused solely on "security fixes."

The PlayStation 4 may be well over a decade old now, but Sony continues to release occasional firmware updates to ensure that those still using the console remain safe when playing online games. With AAA titles such as the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 still supporting the PlayStation 4 on release, it's no surprise that Sony continues to ensure that the console remains safe and playable for its users around the world. The most recent update for the PS4 was only released back in September, bringing improvements to the messages and usability on some screens.
