PS4 System Software / Firmware 7.02 is Now Live, Don't Update!

Ho Ho Ho, it's beginning to look a lot like... more PlayStation 4 security hole bug fixes! With their last PS4 OFW update only a week ago, today Sony released PS4 System Software / Firmware 7.02 live to ensure peak performance and stability during those long gaming sessions this holiday season and to patch PS4 / PS3 Blu-ray Drive Vulnerabilities.

As always DON'T UPDATE if you wish to use PS4 game backups and homebrew apps when a new jailbreak exploit arrives, and we'll add any related Tweets below as PlayStation 4 scene developers have a chance to examine it.

Download: PS4 Firmware 7.02 Update (US) / PS4 Firmware 7.02 Update (EU) / PS4 Firmware 7.02 Update (UK) / PS4 Firmware 7.02 Update (AU/NZ) / PS4 Firmware 7.02 Update (JP)

If you haven't done so yet, find an exploitable console and become a Verified Member by getting a Blue Verified Badge (FAQ in the spoiler HERE) through our PSXHAX Floating Discord Channel to access the private or restricted areas for the latest PS4 FPKGs.

nice changelog sony, lul

@kal0300 And in every update, there are people who only have 1 message in the forum, who come to cry for someone to post a new exploit and so they can play above 5.05

Incredible, right?

 

[Waynogeoff]

Annoying isn't it! Which part of it will be announced when it's available don't people understand. I'm new to this scene having not had a playstation since the 90's, but all the crying and bleating is getting boring already.

When it's available you'll hear about it here, it's that simple. Until then, enjoy what you do have. Saying that, I do wonder what this bluray drive talk at the 3c will reveal?

with updates there is only one annoying thing, no one actually knows for what firmware new hack will be released (if will be released). if you update firmware too high - bye bye new hack.
