Sony has pushed out a new PS5 system software update today, but it looks like it doesn't really add much.

According to the PlayStation website, the new Version: 25.01-10.60.00 update only added two things--it improved system software performance and stability, as well as improved the messages and usability on some screens. Sony says the update is rolling out in a phased release, so it may take some time to arrive on your console.

This is a stark contrast to the last PS5 system software update on December 4, which at least improved the process of transferring data from another PS5 and enhanced stability when transferring large amounts of data, such as captures. It's possible that there are other unlisted changes, but this new update might indeed just be a mundane stability-focused one.

In other PlayStation news, Insomniac founder Ted Price announced his retirement after 30 years and that the studio might make a return to movies. Insomniac knows that players are excited about its upcoming Wolverine game, but refused to comment on whether it'll release this year.

PlayStation also canceled two live-service games last week, one from Days Gone studio Bend and another from Demon's Souls remake developer Bluepoint Games. The latter's project was reportedly a live-service God of War game.

So far, the only confirmed AAA PlayStation Studios game set to launch this year is Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yotei. However, PS5 players should still feel excited for third-party games such as Death Stranding 2 and Doom: The Dark Ages. For more, check out our look at what to expect from PlayStation in 2025.
