Sony has today rolled out a minor firmware update for its PlayStation 4 (PS4) console, enhancing the system software to version 10.70.
Details surrounding this fresh firmware update remain undisclosed as of now. However, an official changelog is available, suggesting that this update primarily aims at bolstering the console’s stability.
PS4 Firmware Update 10.70 Changelog:
Main features in the system software update:
- Improved system performance
The patch notes for PS4’s firmware update 10.70 underscore a marked improvement in the system’s performance. This mirrors the changes introduced in the recent PlayStation 5 (PS5) update, version 7.60. Sony’s minor updates frequently address security loopholes or exploits, which are often reported to the company via their bug bounty program—an initiative that rewards individuals who uncover these issues.
Notably, Sony is renowned for incorporating additional, covert fixes that aren’t explicitly mentioned in the patch notes. For instance, while the preceding update enabled access to authorized apps on the PS4, no similar changes are listed in the new update.
The update holds critical significance for online gamers, as it is mandatory for ongoing gameplay on the PS4. Users will be prompted by the console to install the latest firmware to preserve online functionality, effectively rendering it impossible to circumvent this update.
