Sony rolled out PS3 system software update 4.93 early this morning. The console, which released in 2006, received its last update (version 4.92) exactly a year ago. Sony doesn’t seem to be giving up on its annual security check-ins, taking players by surprise.

PS3 system software update 4.93 patch notes (March 18, 2026)

“This system software update improves system performance,” the patch notes read. Modders and hackers know exactly what this means.

For the uninitated, Sony is combating PS3 jailbreaks with these updates.

“Please note, to play Blu-ray discs, your PS3 system needs a renewed Blu-ray player encryption key,” Sony added. “Please update your PS3 system software to the latest version to renew the Blu-ray player encryption key.”

In simpler words, Sony is plugging exploits. While the company has given up on the PS Vita, which released at the tail end of 2011, it’s showing no signs of ending firmware updates for the PS3.

“Always update your PS3 system to the latest version of the system software,” Sony continues. “By updating, you can enjoy additional features, improved usability, and enhanced security.”

At least the console isn’t losing another feature after the recent closure of Netflix.

PS3 players who want to download firmware version 4.93 need to have 200MB of free space on their console.
