PS5 New Update Ver. 25.07-12.20.00.05 Released on Oct. 22, Brings More Than Just Stability Improvements
While we’re used to seeing Sony release minor PS5 system updates that improve the console’s stability, that’s not the case today. The PS5’s new update 25.07-12.20.00.05, released this October 22, isn’t a major upgrade that adds in a slew of new features, but it’s also more than just your standard system stability patch.
Clocking in at 1.3 GB, this new firmware update improves DualSense Edge stability, the console’s messaging feature and more.
New PS5 System Update Released on Oct. 22
Here’s what’s new per Sony:
- 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.
That’s about it. It’s not a major system update, but it’s more than just your usual stability one. In other PlayStation news, the PS6 has been teased by Sony and AMD, and it’s been mentioned it’ll be coming in a “few years,” which should surprise no one.
The last major firmware update was released a month ago, adding the Power Save feature, which multiple first-party games are receiving as title updates. Yesterday, both Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and even Death Stranding: Director’s Cut got title updates that added this and a few more improvements.
