PS5 Gets Quiet Update to Allow Checking for Game Updates When Not on Home Screen

PS5 owners notice new "Check for Update" feature that Sony hasn't announced.

The feature allows checking for game updates even if the game isn't on the home screen.

Previously, users had to manually launch games not on the home screen to check for updates.

The feature seems to be slowly rolling out via a backend server update rather than a console patch.

The feature resolves a minor but longstanding gripe some PS5 owners have had since launch.
