PlayStation 3 updates to firmware 4.87: here are all the details

Although a few days ago the new generation of consoles arrived with the advent of PlayStation 5 e Xbox Series X / S, Sony has decided to look back and release a new update for the dear and old PlayStation 3, which starting today will be able to update the version of the 4.87 firmware. Surprisingly, the Japanese giant has therefore decided to publish a new update for their seventh generation console which, as often happens for updates released after the end of a console's life cycle, will focus more on the improvement of system stability and performance.

On official changelog released by Sony itself, the new PlayStation 3 firmware has the one and only purpose of improving the stability of the system, preventing players who still use the console from encountering sudden freezes or data reading errors. In addition, according to many industry experts, this update would have been published mainly to prevent those who have carried out exploits or console modifications can use the online features (or at least make things a lot more complicated than before).

At the moment on the web no other important changes have been found on the system after this update to PlayStation 4.87 firmware 3, although according to many this new update would also be able to do not allow users to revert to an old firmware version to install homebrew on the console or modify it in general. After officially going out of production in 2017 and having lost the ability to send and receive messages with friends directly from the console, PlayStation 3 still remains in the hearts not only of fans but also of Sony executives, who want to continue to renew and improve the seventh generation system just as we saw today with the release of a new update dedicated exclusively to it.
