PS4 System Update 12.02 Available To Download, Adds Security Fixes

15 hours ago 17

Sony Interactive Entertainment has released PS4 system update 12.02 for users to grab, although don’t get too excited as it’s nothing major at all, which shouldn’t come as a surprise considering the company is pretty much focussed on PS5 at this point. The full PS4 firmware 12.02 patch notes are as follows:

We’ve made some security fixes to the system software.

The PS4 was released in November 2013 in the US and Europe, with the Japanese release arriving in early 2014. While the console didn’t reach the commercial heights of the PS2, it comfortably outsold the PS3, which was something of a difficult generation for Sony due to the losses sustained during the system’s launch period. The PS4 received a mid-cycle refresh in the form of the PS4 Pro, and a number of its games have been remastered for the PS5 with extra bells and whistles (no Bloodborne yet though; boo, Sony!).

Sony is still supporting the PS4 with its free PS Plus Essential range each month, but the format holder announced this week that in January 2026 PS5 will become the focus of its monthly freebies, with PS4 games being only offered ‘occasionally.’
