PS4 System Software Update 9.04 Patch Notes

Today's PlayStation update brings a number of improvements to the PS4 system software, mostly benefiting one group of gamers. The PlayStation 4 System Software Update 9.04 is now available, and PlayStation has made sure that certain fans are aware of what it entails.

Cyberpunk 2077 has debuted on PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles, as many of you have heard this week, bringing players back to the game. This is owing to the difficulties of the game's last-gen versions, which were deemed unplayable by many.

PS4 SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATE 9.04

For those with access to PS5 and Xbox Series X systems, the upcoming next-gen update changes that, but it also has some major negative effects for others. Many gamers who possessed the Disc Version of Cyberpunk 2077 were unable to play after installing patch 1.5 on their PS4. They were confronted with a Corrupted Disc error, which rendered them helpless.

The good news is that today's PS4 9.04 patch fixes the problem, as PlayStation confirmed in a new statement to console owners: "We are aware of an issue with the disc version of Cyberpunk 2077 not launching on PS4 after installing the latest game patch." To address the issue, we expect to deploy a PS4 system update tomorrow, February 19th (PST). We appreciate your patience."

The update is now available for download, with CD Projekt Red adding the following to the announcement: "A software update for PS4 is available now." It fixes the problem with Cyberpunk 2077's disc version not launching on PS4 after installing the latest game patch. Please make sure your system is up to date."

Gamers have already begun posting videos of themselves playing on PlayStation 4 consoles, proving that today's latest PS4 update resolves the Disc Edition issues. And for those who haven't yet received the new PS4 update, it's possible that it was released as an optional patch due to the game's focus on Cyberpunk 2077. Meanwhile, Sony has posted the standard System Software Patch patch notes, stating that "this system software update enhances system performance."

Unless other difficulties with PS4 systems are discovered, no further information on the subject is expected to be released. The latest Cyberpunk update is now ready for download on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and features a number of enhancements. The game has returned to the Steam Charts this week, albeit with only a fraction of the number of people who purchased it in 2021.
