Update: Unfortunately, due to a communication error, we shared the incorrect patch notes. The actual changelog only mentioned stability improvements.

  • We’ve improved system software performance and stability.

We apologize for any issues this might have caused.

Original Story

Here’s what Sony added with today’s patch:

  • 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.

It doesn’t seem like the PS4 has gotten a system update, but if it does, we’ll let our readers know.
