How to Enable Auto-Updates on PS5

In this article we will discuss about how to Enable or Disable Auto-Updates on PS5. The PS5’s automatic update feature is pretty straightforward. Once upon a time, you had to go through menus and choose different options to update your device and games. If you want to keep your PS5 in great shape, you need to make sure that its firmware is up-to-date. Also, you should always play the most recent version of a game because it will have important security updates. Automatic game updates on PS5 can be helpful, but sometimes leaving them on can cost you.

You don’t always want games to update without your permission, whether it’s because the game closes and you lose your progress or the patch needs to be pulled because of bugs you didn’t see coming. Of course, you can still update your PS5 by hand. But getting your PS5 to do the work is much easier than checking for new game updates or comparing your firmware version to the most recent. So, when an update is ready, your console will automatically download it. Here’s how to Enable Auto-Updates on PS5.
