June PS5 update brings minor fixes; revamped UI absent

Sony released PS5 system software update 26.04-13.40.00 on June 4, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro. The download is about 1GB. The official patch notes state, “We’ve improved system software performance and stability.” The update does not include the previously tested revamped user interface.

The patch notes use concise language typically applied to minor fixes or security patches. Installation requires roughly 1GB of data and applies background optimizations to system operation.

A streamlined PS5 interface was shown to a subset of players in early April. Many of those who saw the changes were not enrolled in Sony’s beta program. About a month after those tests began, Sony reverted the interface for recipients.

The June 4 firmware does not restore or expand the trial interface to all consoles, and Sony has not provided a public schedule for a wider rollout.

Sony has also applied selective adjustments to the console’s PlayStation Store pages that are visible to some accounts but not others. The firmware notes do not reference those store edits, and initial checks did not detect additional system-wide features.

Owners of PS5 and PS5 Pro can install update 26.04-13.40.00 to receive the listed performance and stability improvements. Changes tied to the tester-only interface or the staggered store edits remain limited to specific user cohorts.
