What’s included in the PS4 Update 6.02? – The Patch Notes
The patch notes are very brief: It is merely stated that the update 6.02 improves the system performance of your PS4. New features are therefore in vain. No further information is included in the patch notes.
What about the malicious PSN messages on the PS4?
Was an acute problem on the PS4 overlooked? Some PS4 users wonder why the update does not address the problem with the malicious private messages that could cause the console to crash when viewing or even receiving the content on the PS4. After all, many PS4 players have struggled with this issue in recent days.
Sony gives the all-clear: Apparently, Sony has managed to resolve the issue elsewhere – even before the release of firmware update 6.02.
