Update PS5 with USB from Safe Mode

The safe mode PS5 allows you boot your console only major features enabled. In Safe Mode we will have a menu with different options that will help us solve possible problems that we find on the PS5 including being able to reset it from this menu. As we can see Safe Mode in Windows 10, from the PS5 we can load different actions that we need for repair issues..

 

The update is one of the actions that is continuously being carried out on our PS5 and that is that security patches and improvement updates are being installed that favor our daily use. Sometimes we can find problems updating our PS5 and that is why one option is to update the PS5 manually from Safe Mode.
