The PlayStation 4 has received an unexpected update, surprising some of its dedicated fanbase. Despite the PS5’s arrival, the PS4 – now in its twelfth year – continues to maintain a substantial user base. Sony keeps supporting the console with fresh titles from established franchises like Call of Duty and annual sports series such as NBA 2K. Even though newer gaming franchises seem to be forging ahead without the PS4, some gamers are disgruntled that it’s still receiving updates so far after its release, fearing it could hinder the development of new games.
Not everyone can afford a $500 new console or is happy with what they currently own. It’s unclear whether history will repeat itself when it comes to PS5 users and the potential release of the PS6, but for now, the PS4 continues to be popular. We don’t know exactly when Sony will stop providing significant support for the PS4, but they have continued to update the console over the past few years.
It turns out that some gamers were caught off-guard by the recent PS4 software upgrade. There was no prior announcement about it, leaving many unsure of its purpose. While it might be tempting to anticipate significant changes, a closer look at the official patch notes suggests otherwise. In fact, this update only has a single, rather vague entry stating that it addresses “some security concerns within the system software.
As a dedicated gamer, I’m glad to know that PlayStation continues to prioritize user safety, even on older systems. While the specifics of these security updates remain vague, there doesn’t seem to be any cause for undue concern among users. Granted, this year did witness a significant outage on PlayStation Network, which understandably stirred up some anxiety about potential hacking, given the history of such incidents with PlayStation. However, it seemed that the outage was not due to malicious activities but rather an internal issue, as no specific details about a hack were ever disclosed.
For quite some time now, there’s been no major overhaul on the PS4, with most attention being directed towards the PS5. However, it seems that the PS4 could maintain its relevance for several more years given how active the PS3 remains even today.
