PS3

PlayStation has clearly made this the week for its console firmware updates, because now even the PS3 has a new one for active owners to download.

The PS5 got a PS5 Pro-specific graphics enhancement, the PS Portal received an improved visual mode and enhanced cloud streaming, and the PS4 patch improved the messaging system. What does the PS3 update bring to the table? It's not nearly as exciting.

Here's the single patch note for PS3 firmware update 4.93:

  • This system software update improves system performance.

This is all Sony has done to the console since May 2022, which was when firmware update 4.89 dropped and introduced anything of note. Since then, there have been four console patches — including this one — and they all sport the exact same patch note of improving the dated system's performance.
