PlayStation 3 gets new firmware update for version 4.86

Don't you just love seeing firmware update notifications for your legacy hardware? Sony sure hopes so, because they've pushed out a new firmware release for the PlayStation 3. What exactly does this new update bring to the table? Well, not much at all, outwardly. Sony offers the usual message of "This system software update improves the quality of the system performance". It's not stability, but it's close enough. Even in terms of exploits and homebrew, version 4.86 doesn't have much of an impact: according to PS3 scene developers, the kernel is unchanged. As always, it's wise to stay on your previous firmware until more information is available.

An update to the PlayStation 3 system software was released on 31/03/20. In order to download PS3 system software version 4.86, you will need a minimum 200MB of free space on either the PS3 Hard Disk Drive (System Update) or on removable storage media (PC Update).

they need to open source the OS and kernel already. . .

They're not going to do that and there's really no reason to. They don't want us playing back ups. If the OS and Kernel were open source it would make piracy very easy. No console maker would do this (not counting Windows/Linux/Android "consoles").

I guess Sony doesnt want people modding their Console freely lol. They still update a Console that has no new Releases and close to no active playerbase (since most switched to the PS4).
