Rain falls, wind blows, and the newest PlayStation 5 system update isn’t introducing anything revolutionary this week. Sony has confirmed that the Version: 25.05-11.60.00 update is now live for PS5 consoles, adding the usual amount of extra stability that you’d expect with these firmware patches.
“We’ve improved system software performance and stability,” the very brief patch notes read.
The previous system update also added a small stability update to PS5, with the last substantial patch being the Version: 25.03-11.20.00 release. This added audio focus–a feature designed to support broader accessibility and allow players to hear quiet in-game sounds and voice chat more clearly–and it also brought back the home screen themes inspired by various PlayStation generations.
In other PlayStation news, the next big first-party game for the console, Ghost of Yotei, was the main focus of a recent State of Play livestream. We got to see dozens of new details and a healthy dose of gameplay for the upcoming samurai sandbox, as well as new limited-edition PS5 consoles inspired by it. This year has also seen a new trend emerge on PS5 consoles, as several of the most popular games released for the console weren’t just from Sony, but from its rival Microsoft.
First-party Xbox titles have been popping up on PS5 fairly regularly–following a period of timed exclusivity on PC and Xbox Series X|S–and the next game headed to the Sony platform is Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl in late 2025.
