Since early 2023, Sony has deployed several PlayStation 5 system software updates addressing minor concerns, such as the 23.01-07.01.01.00 update, which resolved a Game Library issue and added support for new peripherals, including the DualSense Edge controller. The previous major update, released in September 2022, provided 1440p HDMI Video Output support, Game Base enhancements, custom game lists, and more.

In addition to software updates, Sony is reportedly working on hardware advancements as well. Rumors indicate that Sony is developing two new PS5 models – one featuring a detachable disc drive and a high-end PS5 Pro – as well as a Remote Play-centric handheld device called the Q Lite. Some of this new hardware, including the PS5 model with an external disc drive and the Q Lite handheld, is anticipated to be released this year, so more news should be forthcoming shortly.
