PS5 releases new console update in January 2025

released by Sony playstation 5 Console update 25.01-10.60.00 will be released in a “staged release” to fans around the world. New updates for PlayStation 5 are released regularly. Sometimes these updates add significant new features to the console, but most of the time they are fairly routine.

Late last year, Sony released a significant new PS5 update that added a special theme to celebrate PlayStation's 30th anniversary. The PlayStation 30th Anniversary theme allows gamers to customize the look of their console's home screen with PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4-based styles. The PlayStation 30th Anniversary update also added a special boot screen based on the iconic PlayStation 1 startup sequence. Needless to say, this was one of the most popular PS5 console updates to date. It's highly unlikely that the latest PS5 console update will generate nearly as much fanfare.

Domino's Pizza Takes Requests for PlayStation

Domino's Pizza issues a request to PlayStation regarding the company's PS5 console.

The latest PS5 console update is now available. The patch notes state that the new PS5 update improves system software performance and stability, as well as messaging and usability “on some screens.” The vague PS5 console update patch notes are sketchy on details, so it's unlikely that the majority of users will notice any improvements. Still, it's good to see Sony continuing to improve its console's performance.

There's no mention of removing the PS5 30th Anniversary theme in the patch notes, but there are concerns that Sony will remove it sooner rather than later. The new PS5 console update isn't available yet, so I can't test it myself, but there are no reports of the theme being removed as of this writing. Still, those who are paranoid about their themes disappearing might want to take caution before downloading the latest PS5 console update.

Many PlayStation fans are hoping that Sony decides to add the 30th anniversary theme permanently. The demand to keep the theme intact has been so great that thousands of people have signed a petition asking Sony to reconsider its plans to eventually remove it. Other brands have also voiced their opinions on the matter, with Domino's Pizza asking Sony to keep the theme alive. There's no word yet on whether the theme will remain the same or go away, but fans will want to keep an eye on the console update patch notes.
