As Multiplayer First reports, the update notes simply read “this system software update improves the quality of the system performance,” which is about as exciting as Nintendo’s infamous ‘stability’ updates for the 3DS. The big question, of course, is what does this update do? The little answer, sadly, is not very much at all. Even now, in 2020, it’s still (barely) alive and kicking, having just been updated to version 4.86. It was finally discontinued in Japan in 2017, with a string of fantastic exclusives like Demon’s Souls and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots to its name. It had a heck of a job on its hands, following up the best-selling console of all time, but it had a remarkable run of its own.

With all of that said, then, maybe we’re concentrating a little too hard on the hype surrounding the new consoles. The relentless march of coronavirus continues to throw a spanner in the works and leave release dates and such in doubt ( although PS5 is still on track, Sony has stated) but that’s the situation as we understand it at the moment. Nintendo, meanwhile, continues to largely ignore their squabbling rivals and do their usual Nintendo thing, which is also par for the course. In short, it’s business as usual when a new console generation is on the horizon. The PS5 and Xbox Series X are still locked in a vicious battle of petty one-upmanship, and fans are declaring their allegiance to one or the other. Things are heating up on that front, as the company continues to drip-feed exciting new details about their upcoming console. When it comes to Sony’s long-running gaming brand, nobody really has eyes for anything other than the PS5 right now. Granted, it’s not the most exciting update of all time, but the important thing is that PS3 is still getting them.
