PS4 UPDATE: firmware 10.50 is available

In parallel with the arrival of the big update 7.00 of the PS5, Sony Interactive Entertainment also deployed a update for its previous home console, the PS4. The previous one, numbered 10.01, still dates back to last September, so it’s an event in itself. THE firmware 10.50 of the day isn’t really revolutionary, but it does bring some welcome changes.

THE changelog news can be viewed below.

Version 10.50

  • You can now access your allowed apps in Settings.
    • Authorized apps are third-party apps and services with which you have linked your account for PlayStation Network. When you use an authorized application, you authorize the sharing of your account data with this application.
