A new firmware update--Version: 25.06-12.02.00--for the PlayStation 5 console has gone live, and unsurprisingly, it doesn't do much. What this new update does is improve the security on your device, but don't expect to see any new major features added to your PS5 once it has been installed. "We've made some security fixes to the system software," reads the very succinct update notes.
This guide explains how to enable Console Sharing and Offline Play on your PS5, along with tips to manage your account and avoid common issues. After all, sharing is caring, and this can be a great way for your squad at home to experience a stack of games at no extra cost, while claiming all the trophies (and the glory) for their own profiles.
Sony has announced that its new power-saving feature will launch tomorrow (Sept 17) as part of a bigger PS5 update, and has also revealed which games will support it. In case you don't remember, this new feature is designed to deliberately reduce your console's performance in games to help reduce its total power consumption. It has been in the beta tasting phase but is now being rolled out to everyone.
