PS5 Patch 24.06-10.01.00 Will Hopefully Sort Out Graphics Issues Caused by the Recent Firmware Update

Sony has issued a fresh patch for the PlayStation 5 that will hopefully sort out graphics problems caused by the recently released firmware update.

Firmware update 24.06-10.00.00., which added the Welcome Hub to PS5 among other new features, caused technical issues in Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 16.

Myriad users reported issues including entire portions of the screen being overcome with black squares and crashing when loading a save file or fast traveling. Similar bugs appeared in Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws, Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky, Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding, and other games.

At the time, Square Enix confirmed it was working with Sony to address the issues introduced through the firmware update, saying: “Following the recent release of the PlayStation 5 system update, there have been reports of the game crashing and graphical issues. We are currently working with Sony Interactive Entertainment to investigate, and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. Please await our further updates.”

Today, September 20, Sony has released a new update for PS5 (Version: 24.06-10.01.00) which seems targeted at sorting the problems out. Sony’s patch notes are brief and vague:

Version: 24.06-10.01.00

We’ve improved system software performance and stability.

It’s a busy time for Sony’s gaming business, with the recently announced PS5 Pro set to launch in November, as well as an eye-catching PlayStation 30th Anniversary edition of the PS5 and PS5 Pro. On the games front, it’s just released Astro Bot as well as God of War Ragnarök on PC. Firewalk’s hero shooter Concord, however, was hauled offline after its disastrous launch.
