With the new firmware update, PS5 should stop randomly installing PS4 discs

If you are still trying to find a PlayStation 5, know that you are missing some peculiarities of the console

It looks like it will be a while before Sony starts releasing great new system-level features for the PlayStation 5. For now, it’s pretty neat – making sure there are no moldy crumbs everywhere.

The latest PS5 firmware update, version 20.02-02.50.00, was released today.

What’s new? Not much. There are the crowd’s favorite stability / performance improvements to try to help us maintain our faith in technology, a small quality of life editing feature for Share Factory Studio, and a fix for a rare, but uncomfortable installation issue that’s bothering some players with cross-generation titles.

  • This system software update improves system performance.
  • In rare cases, the PS4 version of a game would be installed from the disc after updating and installing the PS5 version. Now, when you insert the PS4 game disc, the PS4 version will not be installed unexpectedly.
  • You can now select and edit video clips using Share Factory Studio in your media gallery.

On second thought, I haven’t put a disc in my PS5 yet – partly because I still have my PS4 Pro connected to a separate television – but dishonest installations are never fun. I hope it’s the last one.
