After twelve years and three years of discontinuation, Sony has released an update to the PlayStation 3, which appears to be simply 'security'
The consoles, once they are replaced by a new generation, lose all kinds of support, ceasing to manufacture and being forgotten. The same thing happened to the Sony PlayStation 3, which stopped being manufactured three years ago, but was replaced by the PlayStation 4. Interestingly, Sony has released update 4.84 for this console, which hardly implements any changes. This update to be intended to improve security. It can be downloaded directly from the Sony website or from the console itself automatically.
Sony releases update for PlayStation 3, twelve years later
"This update to the system software improves the stability and performance of the system," according to Sony for update 4.84 of this console. The improvement in performance is really minimal and the aim is to improve the stability of the system by correcting some background problems.
The less it is curious that the Japanese company launches an update after such a long time out of print. It is no less curious that this update arrives when the life cycle of the PlayStation 4 is near its end. Recent rumors also indicate that the PlayStation 5 could have backward compatibility for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 consoles. This will not be confirmed until the company's new console is presented.
The strange thing about this update, also, is that it comes just a month before Sony stops offering the PlayStation Plus service on the PlayStation 3 starting next month. Some also point out that this update has been developed to harm users who make use of 'backup copies' of this classic console, forcing them to update to a new console.
