Sony has recently released an update for the PlayStation 5, despite the console already launching in a great state. As a company committed to providing the best gaming experience for its customers, Sony recognizes the importance of constant improvement and has released multiple system updates since the console's launch in 2020. These updates have brought a range of features, from substantial additions like Discord support and the ability to transfer content between consoles, to changes based on fan feedback. While most updates have been well-received, some have generated controversy, such as the update displaying progress towards completing a game, which some players have deemed to be spoilers.
PS5 Console Update Patch Notes

While players may not immediately notice a difference, the improved performance and streamlined user experience will undoubtedly be appreciated in the long run.

Sony is gearing up for the release of Project Q, a new handheld device that will serve as a PS5 version of the Wii U Gamepad controller. While not a standalone handheld like the PSP or PS Vita, it will allow players to stream the console's biggest games remotely. As such, it's possible that a PS5 system update will be required to ensure compatibility with this new feature. However, the latest PS5 system update has been issued with no reported issues, easing the concerns of longtime PlayStation gamers.
The PS5 Project Q handheld currently lacks a release date or a price, but PlayStation fans can expect more information on that front later this year.
