PlayStation 4 System Software Update 7.51 Released

You may have noticed if you turned on your PlayStation 4 today that a new system update was waiting for you. In fact, the new update is the PS4 System Software Release 7.51. But what can you expect after you install the PlayStation 4 System Software Update 7.51?

What Did PlayStation 4 System Software Update 7.51 Do?

Sony made a formal post about the system update. And you’ll never guess what the description of the update says—oh, wait, of course you will:

“This system software update improves system performance.”

What a shocker (not). What also isn’t shocking is that Sony doesn’t provide any additional details about the update. But again, this is basically par the course by now, to the point where the line above about improving performance has become something of a running joke among PS4 players.

To download and install the update, all you should need to do in most cases is turn on your PS4 and wait a moment. The system should automatically inform you of the update and give you a chance to install it. If, however, you need an alternate method for downloading and installing the update, you can visit the post from Sony. There, you will find detailed instructions to help you get the system update.

This latest update may not sound particularly exciting being as it won’t be adding new features. But it is always good for the system to run better, so hopefully it will give us all a smoother, more efficient gaming experience.
