Sony surprises PlayStation 5 users with a new system software update, version 23.01-07.01.01, which was released on March 29. This unannounced update, unlike most others, does not require a console restart and has probably finished on your console too.
The update is relatively small in size, clocking in at just 834MB.

The issue caused content to be displayed incorrectly under specific conditions but has now been addressed with this update.
The fact that this update does not require a console restart is an unusual feature, making it a unique addition to the PS5’s history of firmware patches. As announced on the official website, the change implements the following:
