Sony Rolls Out PS Portal System Update 7.3.0 With In-Game 3D Audio Toggle

The quick string of follow-up firmware releases has prompted industry speculation that Sony may be refining software ahead of a possible holiday OLED Portal launch.

Another PS Portal Firmware Update Is Now Available, Just Two Weeks After the Last

Overview

  • Sony began a phased rollout of PS Portal system software version 7.3.0 on Friday, delivering usability and stability fixes alongside new features.
  • The update adds an in-game toggle to turn 3D audio on or off, accessible at Settings > System > 3D Audio.
  • Search on the Portal now shows results in real time as you type and lets users scan a QR code to continue a search in the PlayStation Store, PlayStation App, or a web browser.
  • This release follows a September update that introduced an optional 80% default charge cap to help preserve battery health, and the rapid cadence of updates—two meaningful firmware releases in a few weeks—has fueled speculation about an OLED hardware refresh.
  • Sony also expanded the Portal’s cloud streaming library with new titles and continues to push the 7.3.0 rollout in phases so not all users will see it immediately.
