We suspect the vast majority of our readers will have moved on to the PS5 by now, but there are still millions upon millions of lingering PS4 users around the world. Sony has remained committed to the console, despite it now being over a decade old, and earlier this week it released a brand-new firmware update which actually makes some improvements to the user experience.
We’re not going to overplay these, though, because they are minimal. According to the platform holder’s official website, the new patch will “improve” the messaging system and its “usability on some screens”. The manufacturer has also bundled in its tried-and-true performance and stability enhancements. Standard.
So, there you go – the patch is out now, and in case you missed it, there’s also a new PS5 firmware update available as well.

It's still getting games as well.
Wait till you hear about the ps3 fw update that came out 2 weeks ago lol. Ps4 is not even an old console yet and thanks to its massive success it'll most likely keep getting support and games up to the release of PS6.

I booted up my PS4 by accident and noticed a sudden spike in performance and stability. This explains it.
I still game on my PS4 even though I mostly game on my PS5.
I noticed the update last night after losing internet connection think that might have been why
Not a big deal, honestly. We can be sure that PS4 would get updates for many more years to come.
PS4 — the most stable console in the universe!
Keep going, old stager, at this rate you'll outlast the PS5!
Good old PS4. No reason to move
