Sony has not forgotten about the PS4: System software update 11.00 released for previous-generation consoles

PS5 owners can download a major console system update that introduces a whole range of new features. At the same time, Sony has not forgotten about the PlayStation 4 either.

PS4 owners should not expect changes as massive as those on the PS5. Sony’s device has received update 11.00, which allows users to sign in without a password using the PS App. To do this, simply scan the QR code with your smartphone, just like on the PS5.

Another improvement related to the PS App that also arrived on the PS5 is the ability to react to messages with emoji. We have already covered this option in detail in the news about firmware 8.0 for PlayStation 5.

The system software update 11.00 files take up 496 MB. The package is available for download in all regions. Sony describes the changes in the update concisely. 

Disclosed changes in system software update 11.00 for PS4:

  • Signing in to your PS4 is now possible without a password thanks to the PS App. Simply scan the QR code on your mobile device, just like on PS5.
  • You can now see emoji reactions in messages from other players.
  • We have improved messaging and usability on some screens.
