Translated with AI from the Russian original.

The company has rolled out a new firmware version 14.22.00 for its consoles.

Sony has released another PlayStation 5 system software update — version 14.22.00. It arrived a month after the release of firmware 14.10.00 and, according to the official description, contains system security fixes.

The update's release comes amid noticeable progress by the console jailbreak community. Over the past few weeks, researchers and enthusiasts have made new strides in bypassing the protections of modern gaming systems, in part thanks to the advancement of artificial intelligence models. As a result, Sony has to promptly address discovered vulnerabilities to prevent the spread of piracy.

However, the company has gained an additional reason to bolster PS5 security right now — the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto VI, scheduled for November 19. According to the PlayStation Game Size account, which tracks changes in the PlayStation Network database, launching the new Rockstar Games title will now require firmware 14.22.00 instead of the previous version 14.10.00.
