For now, you can download the 900 MB stability update via your console or a USB.Sony recently published an interview with Hideaki Nishino – Senior Vice President of Platform Experience – on the PlayStation Blog, offering rare insight into the process of designing a firmware update. According to Nishino, Sony often releases smaller updates to change the UX behavior.“Our updates aren’t just about the [major] firmware updates,” he explained. “If you carefully look at the PS5 system, over the network we are changing the UX behavior quite often. Sometimes we do some customization for a certain group of people to see how these features are used. So, it’s dynamic now.”Nishino also teased “exciting” new firmware updates going forward.“When I look back at the list of things we need to do, there’s a lot,” Nishino said. “There’s a lot the community is asking for as well. I want to say in the Japanese way, I’m diligently working on these lists and there will be more coming out in the future. I also want to say thank you to the community. We are not just whiteboarding our desired features. We work for customer needs. We really want to solve the problem in a delightful manner. That’s our core passion. We are here for the PlayStation [fans].”September’s firmware update brought with it the much-awaited ability to expand PS5’s internal storage as well as numerous other UX, social, gaming, and app enhancements.
