Sony has just released an update for PS3 consoles (4.92), which is 19 years old this year.

According to the update instructions, the system software update 4.92 installation size is 200MB, which improves system performance and also updates the Blu-ray player encryption key to allow disc playback.

This type of update actually occurs every year, as the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) encryption keys expire periodically—a copyright protection technology that requires keys to be set on both the disc and the host to play new movies.

The key also exists on PS4 and PS5, but according to the host manual, the encryption key is automatically updated, while on PS3, it must be done through system updates.

It is speculated that Sony will continue to release such updates on PS3 until it stops supporting the host.

Sony discontinued its PS3 in 2017, about a decade after its first release.As of March 2017, the sales of PS3 exceeded 87.4 million units.Below Sony's lifetime sales volumes of PS1, PS2 and PS4.The sales of PS5 are 75 million units.
