PlayStation Firmware 6.71 Patch Notes
You guessed it, the new update also improves system performance
- This system software update improves system performance.
We’re interested in what exactly changed in the latest update, maybe there was some bug or technical error in the previous update which came out only a few days ago, that they wanted to address as soon as possible, or maybe they just left out something.
There have been complaints by users about the very slow menus, and the laggy PlayStation Store, and we hope that this update addresses that. While the games themselves work great on the console, but the user interface could use some work, when it comes to seep and responsiveness. Even with stable internet connections, the performance of going through various menus has never felt as smooth as it should.
Sony has been actively working against various exploits that hackers have been working on to hack the PlayStation firmware and running pirated games on it, so it’s possible that Sony wants to address that as well.
PlayStation has also announced that they’re offering users a chance to try out their upcoming party features, and you can read all the details about it here.
