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.
Full Patch Notes:
- Version 25.06-12.02.00

Sony has not shared specifics on the security fixes included in the latest update, but they may relate to ongoing efforts to prevent console exploits. While the PlayStation 4 was eventually compromised, the PS5 has been available for nearly five years without a widespread homebrew solution.
Earlier, Sony revealed that during the PS5 generation, its revenue surpassed that of the PS4 and other consoles they have released.
