PlayStation 4 Firmware Update 1.51 Available Now
Sony has rolled out a new firmware update for the PlayStation 4 that improves a few elements of the user interface and stabilizes the operating environment. You’ll get a notification that it’s been added to the download queue and depending on when that is, it might be ready to install when you next turn on your system.
The firmware update will ensure that users know when a game and a patch are downloaded at the same time. This patch does not add any major features like wireless headset support or suspend/resume. Those will be coming later.

Our Take
You won’t have a choice to update if you want to connect to PlayStation Network or browse the store. Note that you’ll need to manually trigger the installation from the Notification window. It’s a fairly quick process, and we were back up and running under two minutes.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
