Firmware 3.0 is last major PS3 update this year, smaller updates may still be released
PS3 firmware 3.0, which carries a rather hefty set of additions and tweaks, is all set to go live on September 1. This is a major update, to say the least, and according to Sony‘s PSN operations director Eric Lempel, it’s the last big firmware release we’ll see this year. This doesn’t necessarily mean that Sony won’t roll out further updates this year after 3.0 hits, however. More from Lempel after the jump.
PS3 firmware 3.0, which carries a rather hefty set of additions and tweaks, is all set to go live on September 1. This is a major update, to say the least, and according to Sony‘s PSN operations director Eric Lempel, it’s the last big firmware release we’ll see this year.
“This is a big and significant update, so you would be correct to assume that [it’s the last major update for 2009],” Lempel told G4TV.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that Sony won’t roll out further updates this year after 3.0 hits, however. Smaller updates may still be rolled out to improve the experience for PS3 users.
“We try to release updates a few times a year and try to put as much as we can in them and depending on the different schedules and what we have ready at a certain moment, it may or may not make it into an update,” he said.
“We do want to continue to evolve the PS3, continue to go along our road map but also listen to what the users are saying and making the necessary enhancements to make their experience better.”
