PS5 Update: Secret Performance

The new PS5 firmware version 2.0 finally brought the SSD support long-awaited by fans, with which you can enlarge the available memory of the PS5. In addition to the SSD extension, the screenshot function has also been improved and further small innovations were introduced.

However, how the Team of Digital Foundry has noticed, this is not everything. Sony seemed to look at Klammhimlich on the performance of the PS5 without anyone who has noticed. That fell on the Digital Foundry team just random.

PS5 games get mini-boost

What happened? Actually, the Youtuber wanted to deal with the new PS5 hardware revision and draw a comparison between the old and the new model. They noticed them to their astonishment that the games on the old model ran a little faster than on the new model:

In very specific scenarios, it seems to be that [all] PS5 consoles with this new firmware run faster than before.

What was that? The old PS5 ran with the new firmware version 2.0, while the new PS5 was still running with the old version. After the new PS5 console has also been updated, the games ran in a flotter pace.

That s how the mini-boost affects

However: The difference is difficult to recognize with the naked eye. The performance boost finds only for certain games such as Control and Devil May Cry 5 use and improves performance only by about two to three percent.

How much faster is that? Due to the performance boost, the games are running faster with about one to two frames per second. This is not possible for the human eye, but it is reassuring to know that Sony with firmware updates in retrospect can increase the performance of games.

Other features of the PS5, which could not all have on the screen, we tell you to SSD support:

That can be the new PS5 model

By the way, in the test of Digital Foundry came out that there are hardly any differences between the launch version and the Hardware Revision of the PS5. The new PS5 is a bit hot, but this is not a problem for you, as the temperature increase is still in the norm.

The only new aspect that you could notice in the construction of your PS5 is the new screw for the stand. If you want to change your PS5, you do not need a tool with the new model to remove or install the base.

Would you like a larger performance boost or are you currently satisfied with the performance of your PS5?
