Sony welcomed October 2025 with PS5 system software update 25.06-12.02.00 bright and early this morning. The update is rolling out worldwide now, and those who haven’t been prompted to update yet will receive a notification within the next few hours.

What does PS5 firmware update for October 1 do?

“We’ve made some security fixes to the system software,” read the lone patch note on Sony’s website, but we know exactly what this means.

The company is a step ahead of modders and jailbreakers this generation, and has made it impossible for the PS5 to be hacked thus far. The console is in the latter half of its life cycle, and for the first time in decades, no one has really been able to jailbreak it quite like its predecessors.

These “security fixes” that Sony speaks of are basically vulnerabilities that are being actively plugged. That said, the company does sometimes slip in changes that it doesn’t make known to the public, so if there’s anything more to the update, hawk-eyed players will bring it up sooner or later.

PS5 also received a system update in September, which brought some much-needed improvements for the DualSense controller alongside a new power saving mode.
