It also enhances the console’s overall stability.
Sony quietly released a new system update for the PlayStation 5 without any prior announcement.
The update does not add any new features; the official release notes contain only the standard wording:
- Improved messaging system and usability on certain screens
- Enhanced system stability and performance
Players report that one concrete fix addresses messages being correctly marked as “read” — many users had noticed notifications remained flagged as unread even after opening them.
Typically, these unannounced updates include backend security and server-side improvements from Sony. Naturally, the company tends not to highlight those changes, sticking instead to generic statements about stability and performance enhancements.
