With the new firmware update, PS5 should stop randomly installing PS4 disks

If you’re still trying to find a PlayStation 5, keep in mind that you missed some weird quirks

It looks like it will be a while before Sony starts pushing new system-level features for the PlayStation 5. For now, a lot of sorting is done, making sure there are no mold crumbs everywhere.

The latest version of the PS5 firmware, version 20.02-02.50.00, has been released today.

What’s new? Not much. There are the stability / performance enhancements preferred by people to try to help us maintain our technological faith, a small quality-of-life editing feature for Share Factory Studio, and a solution to an installation problem. Infrequent but annoying, which has been annoying some players with cross titles.

  • This system software update improves system performance.
  • In exceptional cases, the PS4 version of a game would be installed from disk after you have upgraded and installed the PS5 version. Now, when you insert the PS4 game disc, the PS4 version will not be installed unexpectedly.
  • You can now select and edit video clips using Share Factory Studio in the media gallery.

Thinking about it, I haven’t put any discs in my PS5 yet, in part because I still have my PS4 Pro connected to a separate TV, but rogue installations are never fun. Hopefully it will be the last.
