ps3 Firmware update 4.90 is now available for download. For anyone still using the PlayStation 3, a new system software update is sure to surprise. The previous patch was released in May last year, so seeing the February 28th update appear will definitely come as a shock. Luckily, it’s only a small download and shouldn’t cause too much downtime before getting back to those “retro games”.
PS3 System Software 4.90 Update Notes
The PS3 update 4.90 patch notes detail one change:
This system software update improves system performance.
Unfortunately, these are all the details provided by Sony. The 200MB patch “simply improves system performance.” It’s unclear whether the update targets the performance of a certain piece of equipment, or just gives a general increase in software speed and efficiency.
Unfortunately no, patch 4.90 does not unlock PSVR 2 compatibility for PlayStation 3, allowing players to see through the eyes of Solid Snake in MGS4, cool as that would be… Whatever you do, hopefully it pays off noticeably for those who are still playing. on their PS3 consoles.
Serious PS3 fans probably got the PlayStation Stars PS3 Collectible. For those who missed it, here’s how it was unlocked.
