Just a few hours ago, Sony rolled out the new PS4 firmware update 9.00, which introduced a few new features. Unfortunately, it seems to have caused issues as well.
Multiple reports on the PS4 subreddit thread have surfaced wherein gamers are having issues connecting to the PlayStation Store, connecting online, slowdown in navigating menus, and more. We’ve included some of the most complaints multiple users have experienced so far:
What’s odd here is, some users haven’t experienced any issues at all, while some can’t even connect online once they’ve applied the new PS4 firmware update. Fortunately for me, my PS4 is working just fine after the firmware update.
We’ll monitor the situation and will update if any new info surfaces. We’ve also contacted Sony, and will post an update if we get a reply.
So after the 9.00 update my 85 dollar usb storage device started having issues in connecting to the PS4
Was having major connectivity issues since the 9.00 update. I did EVERYTHING there was to be done just short of factory resetting; including changing DNS & frequency, deleting old notifications & unused apps/games, clearing game caches & browser history, leaving the console disconnected from the power cord overnight, logging out/in of PSN, moving my router, resetting the router & even changed my Xfinity WiFi/router settings. As a literal last resort, I put the PS4 in safe mode, re-downloaded the system software update, went back into safe mode, ran a “Rebuild Database” & that fixed the issue entirely.
Hope this helps.
