In the case of the last two firmware updates, they were for improving system performance and resolving the download queue issue on the PlayStation 5.
Version 20.02-02.20.00
This system software update improves system performance.
An issue where users couldn’t download games because only the “Queued for Download” or “View Details” option was displayed was resolved. If you encounter this issue, update the system software to the latest version, and then try starting your PS5 in safe mode to rebuild the database.
Version 20.02-02.25.00
Judging from the small increment in the system software version, this is another update that is for stability and performance improvements. We won’t know until more users are able to test it out.
PlayStation 5 is available now in most countries around the world. There are two different editions of the PS5 console. One is the digital edition that will cost $400 while the other is a disc edition that will cost $500.
