14 DAY TRIAL // Sony has released a new firmware package targeted at its PlayStation 5 consoles, namely version 21.02-04.00.00, which allows owners to connect to the expansion slot a PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD (min: 250GB / max: 4TB) and use it to install and play games.
In addition to that, PS5 owners can now use 3D audio through the TV speakers, PS Remote Play app to access PS5 via mobile data from an Android or iOS/iPadOS device, new fonts in Media Gallery, and the audio EQ feature in (Sound) for PULSE 3D wireless headsets.
Besides these features, the current firmware also refreshes the Games home screen, Game Library, Game Base control menu, Trophies, Control Center, PlayStation Now, Parental Controls, as well as other changes as highlighted in the Release Notes below.
Therefore, if you want to enjoy these updates, save the downloadable .PUP file, format a USB drive using your console, create a “PS5/UPDATE” path, and then transfer the “PS5UPDATE.PUP” file into the newly created folder.
Now, connect the prepared USB drive into your PS5 system, start the console in Safe Mode (long press power button and release it after the second beep), and go to Update System Software > Update from USB Storage Device > OK.
Once the firmware has been located, the console will automatically initiate the upgrade process; you have to permit the PS5 to apply the new firmware and complete any additional steps that the device might require.
When it comes to recommendations, do not turn off your PlayStation 5 unit or remove the USB drive while installation is in progress, as this will not only interrupt the upgrade but might also severely damage the console.
That said, download Sony PlayStation 5 Firmware 21.02-04.00.00, apply it to your gaming system, and enjoy your newly improved console. Also, regularly check our website to stay “updated one minute ago.”
