14 DAY TRIAL // Just now, Sony has made available the download links for its latest PlayStation 4 firmware, namely version 4.05, which includes a few changes that will improve the system performance quality .
If you wish to make use of this new version, first save the appropriate upgrade package, as Sony has provided two downloadable .PUP files: one for updating the PS4 console and the other for reinstalling a fresh 4.05 firmware on the PlayStation unit.
Either way, download the “PS4UPDATE.PUP” file, create a “PS4/UPDATE” path onto an FAT32 formatted USB flash drive and transfer the firmware there. Also, take into account that it’s highly recommended you don’t rename the file; doing otherwise will lead to various malfunctions.
Now, turn off the console, connect the newly-prepared USB drive, press and hold the power button for at least 7 seconds (Safe Mode), and go to Settings > System Software Update. Afterward, simply follow all instructions displayed and don’t interrupt the process in any way.
Still, if Sony’s PS4 system doesn’t recognize the downloaded file, it would be a good idea to check all above-described steps to make sure you have followed them precisely before jumping to conclusions.
That said, if you want to try out this new update, download Sony PlayStation 4 Firmware 4.05, apply it on your gaming console, and keep checking our website for more news regarding this release.
