New PS5 Firmware Update Begins Rolling Out Globally

Sony has pushed a fresh PS5 Firmware Update starting today. However, you may not see it instantly. The company is releasing it in phases, and regions will receive the patch gradually over the next few hours.

This new update carries the version number 25.08-12.40.00 and lands as one of Sony’s regular stability releases. Yet, it still brings a few changes worth noting.

Minor Tweaks, But Important Improvements

Sony says the update improves messages on several system screens. These small changes help users navigate the console more smoothly. Moreover, the patch enhances system performance and stability, which ensures better gameplay and fewer interruptions.

The file size is still unknown, as the rollout is not complete. Sony usually updates the support page once the patch reaches all users.

Why You Should Keep PS5 in Rest Mode

Many players miss updates because their console stays powered off. Sony suggests keeping the PS5 in Rest Mode, especially during phased releases. This mode downloads updates silently and installs them without affecting your playtime.

Once the patch appears in your region, your console will fetch it automatically.

Global Release Expected Soon

Although this is not a major feature update, it still improves your overall PS5 experience. Sony continues to push these stability patches to refine the system and smoothen performance across regions.

Stay tuned for the final file size and more details as the full rollout progresses.
