There are several means to get and/or install a system sofware update:
- if automatic updating is enabled, the Southbridge will automatically download it and notify the user after finishing
- user can do manual update check in user interface
- user can enter Safe Mode and from there select updating
- PARAM.SFO of a Software Title can demand minimal version
- BD-ROM can (to compliment the afformentioned PARAM.SFO) also serve a
/PS4/UPDATE/PS4UPDATE.PUPfile[1]
System Software Update
Files
PS4 PlayStation Update Package download links mostly use the same structure as the PS3, PS5 and PS Vita: an updatelist.xml file is hosted on SIE servers and downloaded to get information about latest System Software version.
- Go to https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps4/system-software/ to download PS4 system and recovery PUP files.

PUP Mirror Repositories
- Most PS4 update packages ever released can be downloaded from:
- Midnight Archive (https://archive.midnightchannel.net/SonyPS/Firmware/index.php?cat=PS4REC)
- Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, by choosing a region as in the official URL
- Softpedia (https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/gaming-consoles/Sony/)
Notes
- ↑ 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.
