PS3 Got an Unexpected Update to Version 4.88

The PS3 OS has been updated to version 4.88. However, do not expect any new features. Only security of the console has been improved.

IN A NUTSHELL:

PS3 firmware update to version 4.88 is now available.

December 3 saw the latest firmware update for the PlayStation 3 console to version 4.87. Unsurprisingly for many, yesterday Sony released another system update. Version 4.88 not only patches some holes and bugs left in the PS3, but also updates the security keys for Blu-ray movie discs. We have to prepare ourselves for a download of about 200 MB of data.

The update was announced by the official Twitter account of the RPCS3 emulator. Sony's announcement emphasizes that the update is required if we want to take full advantage of the PS3's online capabilities. Although in 2021, the group of people who actively spend time on this console is rather insignificant.

He hasn't yet written a text that he would be 100% satisfied with. He started his adventure with games at the age of 3, when he managed to convince his father to buy a C64 computer. The love for electronic entertainment awakened by Flimbo's Quest blossomed during the first adventures with Heroes of Might & Magic, reaching its peak after purchasing the first PlayStation. As he grew older, he had more encounters with Nintendo portable consoles, and also returned to the PC as an additional gaming platform. He collects games and is a fan of emulation.
