PlayStation 4 firms up with 2.02 system update, available now

4.6
Hot on the heels of the PS4's 2.01 system update is - you guessed it - 2.02, available to download now. We've successfully nabbed and installed the firmware, but the patch notes currently offer little to report on what it's changed. According to Sony's support page, with 2.02 "system software stability during use of some features has been improved." Well, then.

2.02 is the second PS4 update within a week, so it seems likely that, like 2.01, it's designed to tackle some of the problems that arose after the major 2.00 update. 2.00 caused a variety of glitches for some users, such as the console not powering up from Rest Mode (as addressed by the 2.01 update). 2.00 has also got on badly with certain games, including the Evolve alpha and, as our review attested to, the upcoming Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Here's our Editor's Note from the review:

"The PlayStation 4 version of Dragon Age: Inquisition currently experiences severe crashing hourly, requiring consoles be unplugged and restarted. EA and Sony have told us this is due to the console's recent 2.0 firmware update. Joystiq has been informed this issue will be corrected in a day one patch. We were provided a console by Sony with an advance copy of the upcoming patch. Following that we experienced only one crash that went immediately to the dashboard. We will update this note on the game's launch day."

Miss 2 updates in the matter of one week, lol.


2 hotfixes to address problems from one massive firmware update...I don't see why there is negativity towards a company fixing problems with their systems. It's good that Sony is fixing all the problems that weren't caught in troubleshooting before the release of 2.0 and they're fixing them quickly too which is a huge plus side.

Evidentally it optimizes the messages as well, but overall seems to be a relatively useless update since 2.01 already addressed the major bugs caused by 2.00.
