PS4 firmware update 5.01 now available

PS4 firmware update 5.01 is now available to all users.

The update is designed to improve system performance, as per the lone patch note that accompanied the release. Despite a lack of detail, the update weighs in at 357.3MB.

Most consoles should automatically download and install the update, provided they’re in Rest mode and not fully powered off. Otherwise, you’ll be prompted to install the update before you can go online and access the PlayStation Network.

Enjoy your new update, PS4 owners!
