For the PlayStation 5, update 25.02-11.00.00, which is approximately 1.3GB in size, introduces several improvements. One of the key enhancements is to the activities feature, where activity details are now fully displayed on cards, ensuring that potential spoilers remain hidden for a better gaming experience.
