Sony has rolled out a new PS5 system software update, version 25.02-11.00.00, introducing several quality-of-life enhancements and stability improvements. The latest firmware update refines activity cards, enhances parental control settings, and adds Unicode 16.0 emoji support for messaging.
PS5 Update 25.02-11.00.00 Patch Notes:
- Activity cards now display full details, making it easier to track in-game progress while still keeping potential spoilers hidden.
- Unicode 16.0 emojis are now supported in messages, expanding communication options for players.
- Parental control adjustments: If the restriction level is set to “Late Teens or Older,” the default setting for Communication and User-Generated Content will now be set to Restrict. Previous custom settings will remain unchanged.
- System performance and stability improvements for a smoother gaming experience.

This update follows previous system software patches, such as version 25.01-10.60.00, which focused on general stability, and version 24.08-10.40.00, which improved data transfer processes between PS5 consoles.

Sony released the PS5 in 2020 and has continued to support it with new system software updates. Since then, they have introduced two updated versions of the PS5: the PS5 Slim and the PS5 Pro, which launched as recently as November last year. There are rumors suggesting that Sony may release their next-generation console in 2026 or 2027 as the current console generation approaches its end. Nevertheless, they continue to support their legacy consoles with ongoing system software updates.
