PS3 Update 4.89 Patch Notes | PS3 Update May 10 Patch Notes:
Per the system’s update history:
- Signing in to PlayStation Network now requires a device setup password for enhanced account protection.
- Account creation for PlayStation network and some account management features are no longer available on the console. Use your PC or Mobile browser to use account management features with improved performance, speed, and safety
However, there seems to be a hitch with this update as well, as it seems you CANNOT create new accounts on it!
Homebrewer StarWolf3000 had this to say regarding today’s update:
A new system software update for #PSVita (now 3.74) and #PS3 (now 4.89) was just released. Changes for both systems:
– Removed account creation from the PS3/Vita
– Removed some account management settings
– Device password required for sign-on— StarWolf3000 (@starwolf326) May 10, 2022
This system software update seems to add a layer of security to accounts, which is a good thing, right? People can check out Sony’s official instructions on how to do a proper device setup for passwords on the PlayStation Network right here.
