Firmware 13.00, intended as a routine security improvement, has brought an unexpected effect. Console owners are reporting a noticeable increase in smoothness and speed.
Sony limited itself to the wording: "improved messages and usability of some screens." The company usually uses similar descriptions for most updates. But this time, user impressions turned out to be completely different.
After installing firmware 13.00, many positive reviews appeared on forums and social networks. Players noted that the console works "without lags and optimally", the interface has become "more stable and the fastest ever". One user wrote: "I thought it was a hallucination, but the improvements are really noticeable."
It is noteworthy that similar reviews were almost never found with other PS4 updates. The effect was so significant that PS4 Pro owners are advised not to postpone installing the new firmware version.
