Sony surprised players by publishing a brand new update of system software for PlayStation 3. The update brings an almost nineteen-year console to version 4.92 and improves the system's performance while renewing the Blu-ray Playstation 3 Blu-ray, a vital part that ensures that players can continue to use the console and movies.

Although the latest software update does not mean exactly any exciting console improvements, it is important that all players should download and install if they want to continue using any kind of discs. While the latest consoles of the company, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, also have a Blu-ray player, they do not have to receive system updates to restore encryption keys. But with what has been said, both PS4 and PS5 still receive new updates regularly. Sony has recently announced that it is testing a new firmware repair for PS5, which will include some minor improvements such as easier viewing of activity, Unicode 16.0 and system performance enhancements.
