Even though the PS5 has been out since 2020, Sony continues to update and improve the console. Now, there are two new features, but there’s a catch.
The PlayStation 5 was released in late 2020, but that doesn’t mean that Sony has stopped improving the console’s performance. The company is constantly coming out with new tech, new software updates, and new functionalities that expand the console’s stability and functionality. The latest system update (Version: 25.06-12.00.00) has just launched on September 17, 2025, and there are several features that will be added to the console.
Many of these changes are the sort of bug patches and quality of life improvements that you see in just about every update. Some of them include improvements to controller stability, improvements to the messages and usability on some screens, and basic system software performance and stability updates. However, there are also two new major features that we’re going to see that will have a direct impact on your interactions with the console.
PlayStation is adding a new power saver mode for select games that will help reduce power consumption, and it has updated the DualSense wireless controller and DualSense Edge controller interface software to allow for multiple pairings. Both of these new features will add handy new capabilities for gamers, but one of them comes with a catch.The PS5’s new features
