PS5 System Update 24.08-10.40.00.07 Released to Improve Data Transfer Process
Following yesterday’s surprise PS5 feature update that saw console owners greeted with the classic PlayStation boot intro, Sony has now released PS5 system update 24.08-10.40.00.07 (or otherwise known as 24.08-10.40.00) this December 3, which isn’t your standard stability fix.
In this firmware update, Sony implements improved data transfers between PS5 consoles, which should benefit those who are transferring huge chunks of data from their vanilla PS5 to a PS5 Pro.

Here’s what’s new with the latest PS5 firmware update according to Sony (you can see the notes by scanning the QR code that appears on your console):
- We’ve improved the process of transferring data from another PS5 and enhanced stability when transferring large amounts of data, such as captures.
- We’ve improved the messages and usability on some screens.
That sums up the complete changelog, and while this is a short list of new stuff slotted in, it’s still heaps better than just your standard stability patch. Outside of the firmware update, Sony has been making waves in the news recently, as the electronics giant is seeking to acquire the parent company of FromSoftware, Kadokawa Corporation.
Not only that, but the company is also reportedly working on a new portable version of the PS5, though that’s years away from being released. With just a few weeks to go before 2024 ends, let’s hope Sony has something up their sleeves to end the year with a bang.
