In the last few hours, Sony has distributed a new system update for PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro. Version 25.06-12.02.00 , weighing approximately 1.3 GB , is now available for download on all consoles.
Unlike larger updates, this is a minor update , whose main purpose is to strengthen security and improve system stability, without introducing any new features visible to the user.
What changes with firmware 25.06-12.02.00?
The official release notes are particularly basic in this case. Sony simply states that “security fixes have been applied to the system software . “
In practical terms, this means the update is part of routine firmware maintenance, likely aimed at closing recently discovered security vulnerabilities or preventing potential exploits that could compromise the system’s integrity. For the average user, the gaming experience remains identical, but their console becomes slightly more secure and stable.
A step after a major update
This update comes just a few weeks after version 25.06-12.00.00 , which brought with it some significant new features, especially for owners of the DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers.
That previous update had in fact introduced two much-requested features:
- Multi-pairing : The ability to pair the controller to multiple devices at the same time (e.g., your console and a PC), making switching easier.
- Power Saving Mode : An option to further extend battery life, improving battery life during gaming sessions.
What to do?
As with all system updates, it’s a good idea to install them as soon as they’re available . While you may not notice any differences in your day-to-day use, these “under-the-hood” updates are crucial to ensuring your console runs safely and optimally, protecting your data and hardware.
The update is usually downloaded automatically when the console is in sleep mode (and connected to the Internet), and the next time you start it, you will be prompted to install it.
