The company has made it easy to view details about activities.

  • Activity details are now fully displayed on cards.
  • Potential spoilers will still be hidden.
  • Unicode 16.0 emojis are now supported. You can use them in your messages.

When you set the parental controls' restriction level to Late Teens or Older, Communication and User-Generated Content will now default to Restrict on PS5.

If you previously set the level to Late Teens or Older, your existing settings will not be affected and it will be shown as Customise.

Meanwhile, the PS4 has a system software update, but there’s much less to this one. Update 12.50 comes with a single note: "The company improved the messages and usability on some screens."
