Sony today launched a new firmware update for both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro. PS5 updates usually focus on improving system stability, but this one also includes several convenient new features that players have been requesting. While regular updates are common, this one goes beyond just keeping things running smoothly.
A new PS5 update is available now (version 25.07-12.20.00), and it’s a bit larger than usual. While it continues to improve the console’s overall stability, the main new feature lets you easily check the serial numbers for both your PS5 console and your DualSense controller directly in the settings menu. It’s a small but useful addition that simplifies finding this information when you need it.
Here are the patch notes in full for PS5 firmware update 25.07-12.20.00:
- You can now use your console to check the serial number of your console, and of DualSense wireless controllers that are currently connected by USB or Bluetooth.
- For your console, select Settings > System > System Software > Console Information, and then check Serial Number.
- For a DualSense wireless controller, select Settings > Accessories > General > Advanced Settings > View Serial Number.
- We’ve updated the device software of the DualSense Edge wireless controller to improve stability.
- We’ve improved the messages and usability on some screens.
- We’ve improved system software performance and stability.
Sony is planning significant updates for the PlayStation 5, especially for the PS5 Pro. These updates will focus on improving the console’s PSSR technology, which enhances visual quality. While a specific release date hasn’t been announced, the update is expected sometime in 2026.
We might see another significant PS5 update in the next few weeks. Sony typically releases its biggest system software updates towards the end of the year, and while they haven’t announced anything for 2025 yet, an announcement could be coming soon.
