The oldest machines do not have an Internet connection, so for them, no firmware update. More for those who benefit from a network connection, even if they are a little dated, it is still possible … It is still necessary that the manufacturers have the will.
You're not dreaming, the PS3 is still relevant
Sony surprises its players with the release of a new update for the PlayStation 3 operating system. This version 4.91 emphasizes performance and stability of the system. While many thought the PS3 was a machine of the pastthis unexpected update proves that Sony has not forgotten its classic consoles and the community of players who still benefit from it.
Eighteen years later, we can still improve it
From its launch almost 18 years ago (end of 2006 in Japan and North America, 2007 in Europe), the PlayStation 3 remains an iconic console. As might be expected after so much time, the version 4.91 of the system software does not offer new featuresbut focuses on the essentials: improving system performance, security, and stability. Sony knows there is a segment of players loyal to its third home consoleeven though the PS5 is more than three years old.

A good message sent to players
While the PS3 benefits from its annual refreshSony sends a message to his players. Even if they couldn't afford a PlayStation 4 or a PlayStation 5, the firm intends to guarantee them safety and performance that are always up to par. Some observers also see it as recognition of the important place of the PlayStation 3 in the history of the companyeven if this console had very poorly started due to its too high price compared to the competition. Years after its launch, it remains a viable option for those who are looking for nostalgia or who are still discovering games they have never tried within its vast game library.
PS3 update 4.91 is available now.
