PS5 System Update 24.03-09.20.00 has been deployed by Sony and we’ve got you covered with the official release notes.
The new firmware version for Sony’s console appears to be a minor one, and like most PlayStation system software updates, this latest update once again improves the system’s stability and performance. In theory, with all these stability updates, the PS5 is almost as stable as the PS4 once was. In addition to improving software performance and stability, this new system update expands the UI’s Game Help feature by adding Community Game Help Features. Also, the “Remote Play connected” message can now be hidden during Remote Play through the Remote Play options in the system settings.
In the official release notes, Sony also mentions that messages and usability on some screens has been improved, but further details about these improvements haven’t been included. You can find the full release notes for this new system update here. Like most firmware updates, PS5 System Update 24.03-09.20.00 will likely also include some under-the-hood changes that we aren’t aware of just yet. Of course, we’ll report back in case we learn more about undocumented changes.
The latest major system update for the PS5 was released last month. This firmware version added DualSense controller sound enhancements, screen share interactions, and more.
Released worldwide back in 2020, the PlayStation 5 is available worldwide now. Back in December of 2023, Sony reported having sold more than 50 million units of its console since its global launch. With these numbers, the PS5 is tracking in on the PS4 time-aligned sales. Sony will soon be sharing its latest financial results, in which the company will share updated sales numbers for the past fiscal year as well as quarterly figures.
Recent rumors and reports suggest that Sony will be announcing its rumored PS5 Pro model soon. This upgraded PS5 model is said to be launching later this year.
