After the very large update to version 5.0, Sony promptly submitted version 5.02. With the last version, VRR support finally came shortly afterward.
Version 22.01-05.10.00.23 is now being distributed for the PlayStation 5, but version 5.1 does not bring any innovations. As so often, Sony says that this “system software update improves system performance” – nothing more.
That doesn’t mean that there aren’t any innovations under the hood, but considering the big update and the VRR support, I would rather guess that it’s a pure bug fix update. Version 5.03 would have been enough as a designation.
Speaking of PlayStation 5: Although the new sales figures were released this week, it’s surprisingly quiet at the moment. It’s about time for a little keynote again. Maybe Sony hasn’t planned any blockbusters for summer.
