As we reported last week, the PlayStation 5 had its share of issues at launch, some of which necessitated factory resets or could outright brick the system. It seems the biggest culprits are rest mode and trying to play PS4 games off an external hard drive, both of which could trigger “the database has corrupted, it will now rebuild” error messages. These can lead to further issues or even the dreaded bricked system.

Ah, but the first PS5 firmware update was released yesterday! In typical Sony fashion, very few details were provided, with the company only confirming the patch “improves system performance.” Many held out hope the patch also quietly fixed some of the serious issues afflicting the PS5, but unfortunately, evidence points to that not being the case.
