Sony has released a meaty new firmware update for the PS5, which adds more than system stability – although you shouldn’t get your hopes up too high.

The patch – creatively codenamed 25.07-12.20.00 – is available to download now, and weighs in at a whopping 1.319GB in size.

Among its new features are the ability to check your system’s serial number on the console itself, as well as improved stability for the DualSense Edge controller and the messaging utility.

Here are the patch notes, courtesy of Sony:

  • You can now use your console to check the serial number of your console, and of DualSense wireless controllers that are currently connected by USB or Bluetooth®.
    • For your console, select Settings > System > System Software > Console Information, and then check Serial Number.
    • For a DualSense wireless controller, select Settings > Accessories > General > Advanced Settings > View Serial Number.
  • We've updated the device software of the DualSense Edge wireless controller to improve stability.
  • We've improved the messages and usability on some screens.
  • We've improved system software performance and stability.

So, nothing really to get too excited about, but a more meaningful update than your typical stability fix.
