There are several means to get and/or install a system sofware update:
== Disc vs Download ==
* if automatic updating is enabled, the [[Southbridge]] will automatically download it and notify the user after finishing
PUP files on PS4 discs are 1GB, regardless of version, as they are zerofilled at the end of the file, just like PS3 PUP were zerofilled to 256MB. Hence, their hash will differ.
* user can do manual update check in user interface
* user can enter [[Safe Mode]] and from there select updating
* [[PARAM.SFO]] of a [[Game Titles|Software Title]] can demand minimal version
* BD-ROM can (to compliment the afformentioned [[PARAM.SFO]]) also serve a <code>/PS4/UPDATE/PS4UPDATE.PUP</code> file<ref>PUP files on PS4 discs are 1GB (1073741824, 0x40000000 bytes), regardless of version, as they are zerofilled at the end of the file, just like PS3 PUP were zerofilled to 256MB. Hence, their hash will differ from the sys PS4UPDATE.PUP file they are based on.</ref>
