Sony rolled out a new firmware for PlayStation 5 this morning. The platform holder is still sticking with the comically long version numbers, so this week’s update is 21.01-03.20.00.04-00.00.00.0.0. Seeing as there was no prior announcement, you probably already guessed that it’s another incremental update. That said, we did actually end up getting some proper patch notes this time around. The patch fixes a bug that caused games hidden on PS4 to still appear on PS5....

In the PS5 breakdown video, you get a look at the internal workings of the console which was in design for five years. As Neowin notes, what you see in the video will be a look at the USB ports on the front and the 10Gbps USB Type-A ports, the HDMI port, and the power connector on the back of the console. You get a look at the stand, the removable side plates, and the cooling fan, along with a slot for an SSD storage expansion....

The new online mode Boss Raid has players teaming up to defeat a mutual opponent for cooperative fun....

One name there stands out from the pack: Red Dead Redemption 2. As per a statement on the PlayStation blog, Red Dead Redemption 2 will join the service this month and then remain on PS Now until November 1. The game – as with everything on PS Now – is playable on PS4 and Ps5. If you’re interested in playing the game, though, that should be more than enough time to polish off both the single-player campaign and Red Dead Online, which is also included with the download....

The Hot Coffee mod, as it came to be called - named after the fact CJ’s girlfriend would invite him in for a coffee and they’d go to Bone Town - was a nightmare for Rockstar at the time. I like to imagine it would be less controversial now, since we’ve moved on from polygonal character models flailing around, and plenty of games have full-on sex scenes. Either way, every GTA game since has still featured sexual content, only getting more graphic as visual fidelity jumped up....

It was assumed, since launch, that the game would be an Xbox exclusive; and why not? Bethesda and Microsoft are now one, big, happy family (citation needed) and Xbox noted that “future Bethesda games to be exclusive to platforms with Game Pass”. But, speaking on the Xbox Two podcast, Windows Central’s Jez Corden has noted that the game will not be exclusive to Xbox; when asked by co-host Rand al Thor whether the game is “exclusive [to Xbox]”, Corden simply replies “it isn’t....

In a blog post, the studio specifically discussed five issues, adding that some have already been fixed in the launch build, while others are being worked on (though without specifying).
