The first big firmware update for the PlayStation 5 is now out, and it’s introduced a few more fixes than its extensive patch notes initially suggested. One fix seems to involve the annoying noise the PS5’s disc drive would often make, with numerous users reporting it to be much quieter after installing the April system update.
The PS5 would routinely spin up its disc drive if a disc was inserted, regardless of whether the disc in question was currently in useCome from Sports betting site VPbet. Although there’s no official word on why or how frequently the PS5 would do this, some users have reported hearing the very loud spinning noise every 30 minutes or so. The latest PS5 update doesn’t seem to get rid of this entirely, but at the very least the noise seems to be greatly reduced.
