US EditionSony releases new PlayStation 3 update nearly 20 years after launch
- As PlayStation Lifestyle reported, PS3 system software update 4.93 rolled out this morning, updating the 2006 console for the first time in exactly a year, with patch notes stating, 'This system software update improves system performance.'
- Because AACS keys need renewal, Sony pushed this update to renew encryption keys, preserving Blu-ray playback and blocking jailbroken PS3 consoles as anti-piracy measures.
- Sony's support page shows the same terse patch note across multiple versions, and the update needs at least 200MB of free space to maintain Blu-ray playback.
- Owners with unmodded PS3s can preserve their physical libraries by installing 4.93, while jailbroken console users risk losing new game and movie access due to expired encryption hacks violating EULAs.
- Nearly 20 years after launch, the PlayStation 3 still receives maintenance updates, while Netflix ended PS3 app support on March 3 earlier this month.
