The PlayStation 5 received a brand new patch earlier today, and the system software update 22.01-05.10.00.23 is now live on Sony’s next-gen console. This patch is a relatively standard one, as it primarily looks to improve the device's system performance.
While the PS5 received a standard patch, what made Sony fans curious was the updates that made their way to both the PlayStation 3 and the PS Vita. These devices received patches just a couple of days ago, and the changes that it introduced are something that many users are finding to be “questionable.”
With update version 4.89 that made its way to the PS3, users can no longer create brand new accounts through the device. The changes that hit the account management section of the console have been made so that users of the PS3 and the PS Vita will only be able to create additional accounts through computers and mobile devices.
