The PlayStation 5 system update for September 2026 has been rolled out, bringing major changes. The latest firmware version 26.06-14.00.00 introduces several crucial quality-of-life improvements.

The new PS5 update follows last month’s beta, which introduced many changes. Players can now get them in the official stable version as well.

What’s new for PS5 Pro owners in the September 2026 update

Here are the changes for PS5 Pro and PS5 owners in the latest September 2026 update:

  • We’ve turned on Enhance PSSR Image Quality as a default setting. When you update the system software, this setting automatically turns on. When you enable this feature, enhanced PSSR is used even for games that support the previous version of PSSR, so you can enjoy a sharper and clearer visual experience.
    • To turn off this setting, go to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output > Enhance PSSR Image Quality. 
    • This feature is available only on PS5 Pro. 
  • You can now see who’s speaking while you’re in a voice chat.
    • To show the speaker indicator, go to the voice chat card in the control center. Select More > Display Who’s Speaking and turn on Display Names. 
    • To choose where the speaker indicator appears on your screen, select Position. 
  • We’ve added the Community Activity widget to your Welcome Hub. You can switch between the following views.
    • Trending Now displays ten multiplayer games or multiplayer modes that are surging in popularity. Look here for new game releases or games with major content updates. 
    • Top 10 displays the ten most popular games in the last week for your country or region. Look here to see what games have a large community of players you can join.
  • We’ve improved system software performance and stability.

Additionally, PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles in certain regions or countries will no longer enter rest mode, and HDMI Device Link won’t function if players go to Settings > Accessories > General > Advanced Settings and select Turn Off Bluetooth.

Instead, the Turn Off Bluetooth function is now only for managing controller connections at esports venues and similar locations. Players are advised not to use this feature for any other purpose.
