Firmware updates: we need them, and Sony continues to deliver. The latest one has just been made available on PS4 all over the world, but there's sadly not much to be excited about.

The update, version 4.71, doesn't do much different from May's 4.70 update. That is to say, it's here to improve the quality of the system performance.

Obviously, this opaque phrase doesn't tell us much, but what we can tell you is that it comes in at 324.8MB, which is similar than most of the recent ones.
