PS4 Firmware update 6.70 Released
Stability, Stability, Stability
Sony have released firmware update 6.70 for the PS4 yesterday. The release before that one was PS4 firmware 6.51, back in March.
As often for PS4 updates, the changelog is intentionally vague and simply states that “This system software update improves system performance”. In other words, this could be anything from a minor patch for some specific game, to some critical vulnerability fix. Not much has been said so far on popular scene sites whether this updates brings additional security.
Should I update my PS4 to 6.70?
You know the drill: if you expect your PS4 to be hacked, we usually don’t recommend you update your console. The highest hackable firmware (publicly) is 5.07. (Check more details on our PS4 Jailbreak page)
Hackers have hinted in the past at hacks available on firmware 6.xx, and there even was a webkit exploit released for 6.20, but no “full” Jailbreak has been announced for recent firmwares by any credible source.
The update appears to be optional for now. But for people not looking to hack their PS4, it is likely you will ultimately have to update to 6.70 in order to retain online service access for your console (PSN, etc…)

Im honestly thinking about updating my 5.05 PS4 since the PS4 hacking scene is kinda nonexistent and I want to play KH3, Red Dead, Spiderman and Detroit Become Human, Any opinions ?
Sell it. There are a lot of people who want a 5.05 PS4 and are willing to pay a premium. You’ll have enough for a PS4 Pro with some nice change.
Not to mention the upcoming PS4 Pro sale price cut next month. Great idea DSpider.
No-one wants to pay a premium in Australia. My 5.05 is in mint condition and I’m receiving below retail price offers for it.
thats the way to go
I feel you, bro.
I’m a patient man. I understand that things like this needs time and effort. However, we didn’t really got anything since last year’s May. I still have a ***-ton of games to play, but I might get a second PS4 Pro for the recent games I want to play.
Just wait or buy a second system, you will regret it later.
Mucho me temo que ya no podremos piratear la ps4, la scene está muerta y tú lo sabes
In other news… Anyone see that Sony updated their Vita store? At the end of life for this console? After all this time?
I’m still on 5.55 …. totaly useless console.
then update it and play games ***
Yeah I gave up and got a second PS4 for anything newer than 5.05… I’m over the wait, the Devs don’t care to release anything, my 5.05 console is just gathering dust… And a few buggy emulators for 5.05 won’t change that.
What a fail, people gets second ps4 to get it dusted to death xd fail ps4 scene is fail. I updated and gave away second ps4 2 months ago.
Even though it sucks that there is no release for above 5.05. There are soo many good games available that works below 5.05!

You don’t need 6.70 to connect to PSN and use online services because it’s not a mandatory update.

I wonder what the sale price for the PS4 Pro will be. Anxious to see.
