Explore PS5’s New Update 24.03-09.20.00 – What’s New?

Sony has just rolled out the latest software update for the PlayStation 5, dubbed 24.03-09.20.00, and we’re here to break down everything it entails.

This update seems to be on the lighter side, focusing predominantly on enhancing the console’s overall stability and performance—bringing it closer to the renowned reliability of its predecessor, the PS4. This iteration not only boosts the performance and stability but also introduces an expansion to the UI’s Game Help feature by integrating Community Game Help Features. Furthermore, gamers can now opt to hide the “Remote Play connected” notification through the Remote Play settings, allowing for a more seamless gaming experience.

Sony’s release notes further reveal improvements to the clarity and functionality of messages and interfaces, although specific details remain sparse. For those interested, the complete release notes are available directly from Sony. As is typical with such updates, there might be additional tweaks under the hood that have yet to be disclosed. We will keep you updated on any new discoveries.

Reflecting on the major updates, last month’s release brought significant enhancements to the DualSense controller’s audio capabilities and screen sharing functionalities.

Since its global release in 2020, the PlayStation 5 has achieved impressive milestones, with Sony announcing sales surpassing 50 million units as of December 2023. These figures suggest that the PS5 is on par with the sales trajectory of the PS4. Sony is poised to release its latest financial results soon, which will provide updated sales data for the past fiscal year and the most recent quarter.

There are also whispers about an upcoming announcement from Sony regarding the much-anticipated PS5 Pro model, expected to launch later this year.
