PS4 Update 6.51 download Today: New Sony PlayStation system update – heres what it does (Pic: SONY)
Sony's newest PS4 firmware update is now available and unfortunately, it's doesn't appear to have any big new features.
Today's update is for patch 6.51, which weighs in at just under 463MB MB and is now available in all regions worldwide.
According to the changelog though, this update only has one purpose: to 'improve system performance'.
That's literally the only clues based on Sony's latest patch notes.
However, as playstationlifestyle.net have been quick to point out with past PS4 patches, if this update is just a soft patch, it doesn't quite explain why it's got a, pretty sizeable file size.
If there are any secret changes to the console, we imagine we'll learn soon enough as players download the update and start rooting around to see what's changed.
As always, PlayStation advises players to "always update your PS4 system to the latest version of the system software," which they explain will allow you to "enjoy additional features, improved usability and enhanced security."
This latest update arrives just a couple of weeks after Sony introduced the 6.50 update which gave us the ability to use your iOS devices for remote play.
You can remind yourself of those core features from the 6.50 update, just below.

If there are any additional secret changes to the Sony console following the release of 6.51 update, we imagine we'll learn soon enough as players download the update and start rooting around to see what's changed.

For those who don't recall, the last big update to the console was the 6.0 update and whilst it uncharacteristically didn't contain any sweeping changes or new features, we suspect it might have been laying a lot of the groundwork for the consoles PSN Name Change feature.
And if you want some more info on how that will work, keep reading. Otherwise, stay tuned for updates as players take a look under the hood to see if there are any new features in this 6.51 firmware update.
