Sony rolls out PS4 firmware 14.02 security patch
Version 14.02 fixes security issues in the PS4 system software, though its effectiveness against current exploits remains unclear.
Sony released PlayStation 4 system software version 14.02 on November 4, 2026, a patch focused on security, according to gamerant.com.
The official patch notes state only that security fixes were made to the system software. Sony did not detail which specific issues the update addresses.
It is unclear how effective version 14.02 will be against current PS4 exploits. The patch arrived more than a month after PS4 firmware version 14.00, which was released in mid-September 2026 as a minor performance update.
The PS4 originally launched in November 2013 and had sold approximately 117.2 million units as of March 2022, making it Sony's second best-selling console after the PS2. The PS5, released in 2020, superseded it.
Separately, the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Call of Duty: Warzone are set to shut down on Friday, November 6, after over six years of service. According to a report from IXBT Games, Grand Theft Auto Online on PS4 has been affected by exploits.
