538 Comments

Sony has begun rolling out a new system software update to PlayStation 4, bringing with it various tweaks and improvements to the previous firmware build.

The console update weighs about 245MB, and should now be available to PS4 owners across North America and Europe. Brief patch notes, copied below, suggest that the new update will implement minor fixes.

PS4 Update 2.51 Patch Notes

  • System software stability during use of some features has been improved.
  • Operation quality during use of some applications has been improved.

One bug that some users discovered back in March, where a notification informing players about Rest mode would continually pop up when the console turned on, has not been fixed.

Stability updates in a digital world where new applications are being introduced all the time is very meaningful.

You've never tried a nice bottle of chianti, pinot noir, or carbernet sauvignon. If you've only tried white zinfandel, chardonnay, or heaven forbid moscato, then I understand. But I sure do love me a nice point of Guiness, Sam Adams, or a good IPA.
