PlayStation 5: Sony makes the console secretly even faster

The PlayStation 4 system software is the updatable firmware as well as operating system of the PlayStation 4. The os is Orbis OS, based upon FreeBSD 9.

With the last major firmware update, Sony has studied neatly on the PS5. Important features have been implemented and also the internal SSD memory can finally be expanded. But a little thing seems to mention Sony forgot to mention: The update misses your console under certain circumstances a speed boost.

More FPS for the PS5

The PlayStation 5 has been freshly supplied with a chic firmware update and, among other things, you can finally expand your internal SSD memory.

But obviously the update also had a nice side effect on the frame rate at certain games. As the Youtube Channel Digital Foundry has found out in a test casually, games like Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition and Control have been enriched by up to five percent in the frame rate.

Thus, the PS5 seems to have received a minor performance boost .

Model comparison covers the secret optimization

This small performance difference has noticed Digital Foundry with a comparison of the revised PS5 model with the launch version . The older device showed better performance when testing. But instead of building the construction of the launch model, it quickly became clear that the launch version was already running with the new update in contrast to the revised model.

Does that mean that all your games will run better? Probably not. Also in the video of Digital Foundry, it becomes clear that the differences are very fluctuating. Depending on the system and game, therefore, a FPS boost is not necessarily expected. Therefore, Sony has probably not communicated this as part of the update.

But it is exciting to see how Sony can affect the performance of the PS5 with software updates. Maybe we will see further performance improvements through system updates in the future.

With the games in the following video you can best try your FPS boost right now:

Some games can achieve higher FPS through the firmware update. The PS5 seems to have a performance boost in the small frame. Whether further performance turbo can be ignited, the future will show.
