This doesn't mean Sony's giving up on making big improvements to PS4's software as the console family approaches its fifth birthday.
Sony update 6.0 ps4 update#
It feels more like an update 5.6 than an update 6.0, and since Sony's in charge of the whole numbering scheme, it totally could have just called it that. And the beta version of update 6.0 that Sony started circulating in August didn't have any new features either, so nothing's hidden there.

It's hardly befitting of that "nice, round numbers with cool new features" update legacy. Improving system performance is always good, but it's the patch notes equivalent of changing the oil. Heck, even the half numbers can be pretty significant - remember when update 5.50 made it way easier to sort through your library back in March? Sony typically reserves its be-integer-ed PS4 updates for adding big new features: update 4.0 added HDR display support and improved sorting/folder functions back in September 2016 update 5.0 opened up the team and tournament system as well as following and custom friend lists in October 2017. Thankfully, there's good reason to believe this may just be a prelude to bigger PS4 update plans coming very soon.

But you probably won't notice much difference. If you have automatic updates enabled, you'll probably find your PS4 has installed the new, roughly 400MB update since you last checked in. Sony just released PS4 update 6.0 to the public, and following on a grand tradition of feature-rich, whole-number updates… it "improves system performance." That's the extent of the patch notes.
