Unlike some of its predecessors, this update doesn’t introduce significant new features but instead emphasizes security improvements and overall system performance.
This update contrasts with the last significant update, version 23.03-08.20.00, released in October. The October update was more feature-rich, introducing a two-column layout for easier music control and new functionalities for PlayStation VR2, including enhanced broadcasting controls and voice commands for checking new PS5 features.
