Sony Releases New PS3 Update in 2025
[summaraize]
Nope, you’re not imagining things. Sony has actually released a new PlayStation 3 update today, March 5, 2025! Players will see this a PS3 update 4.92, and this is a small download that (understandably) doesn’t bring in any new features.
Clocking in at just 200MB, this patch brings what you’d expect from an unannounced title update for an old console.
PS3 Update 4.92 Released in 2025
Sony’s announcement of the patch reads:
An update to the PS3™ system software was released on 03/05/25.
To download the update, you need a minimum of 200MB of free space on either the PS3 Hard Disk Drive (System Update) or on removable storage media (PC Update).
Always update your PS3 system to the latest version of the system software. By updating, you can enjoy additional features, improved usability, and enhanced security.
Please note, to play Blu-ray discs, your PS3 system needs a renewed Blu-ray player encryption key. Please update your PS3 system software to the latest version to renew the Blu-ray player encryption key.
Version 4.92
- This system software update improves system performance.
Yep, that’s about it. Most of the time, updates like these are released to plug in any security loopholes that modders discover, and these are not disclosed to the public.
For context, the PS3 was released way back in 2006, which means this update has been pushed out for a system that’s almost 20 years old. I mean, this console can legally drink in most states and countries now (which is wild if you think about it).
As for the PS5, there’s a new beta program announced by Sony which even PC players can join in to test new features.
