PS5 Update 25.06-12.00.00 Released
Sony has rolled out the PS5 system update 25.06-12.00.00, delivering the usual mix of performance tweaks and stability fixes. While the changelog may look minimal, this firmware matters for both everyday gamers and those following the PS5 jailbreak scene.
Like past updates, version 12.00 focuses on improving background performance, smoother gameplay, crash prevention, and security enhancements. These updates keep the PS5 stable and prepare it for future game releases.
But for jailbreak fans, the timing is critical. Firmware 3.00 to 9.60 is already supported by Kstuff v1.6.4, tools for 10.xx are nearly ready, and 11.xx is actively being researched. Updating to 12.00 could block you from future jailbreak opportunities since Sony uses each firmware to patch exploits.
What’s New in PS5 Update 25.06-12.00.00
- System performance improvements
- Enhanced stability
- Bug and crash fixes
- Security updates to block exploits
Even though no new features were announced, this update ensures smoother gameplay, reliable installs, and improved console security.
How to Install the Update
- Automatic Update – Keep your PS5 connected, and it installs in rest mode.
- Manual Update – Go to Settings → System → System Software → Update.
- USB Update – Download from PlayStation’s site, copy to USB, and install via Safe Mode.
Jailbreak Warning – Stay on 11.xx
If you’re waiting for a jailbreak, do not update past 11.xx. Updating to 12.00 means losing the chance to use upcoming tools. While this update makes your console more stable, it also raises barriers for jailbreak developers.
Conclusion
PS5 update 25.06-12.00.00 is a safe choice for most players who want smooth and secure gaming. But if you’re following the jailbreak scene, staying on firmware 11.xx or lower is the smarter move.
FAQ – PS5 Update 25.06-12.00.00

This update improves system performance and stability, meaning fewer crashes, smoother game installs, and overall better reliability. While no new features were added, it keeps your PS5 secure and ready for upcoming games.
Should I update to PS5 firmware 12.00 if I want to jailbreak?
No. Updating to firmware 12.00 will block you from using future jailbreak tools. Current jailbreaks support 3.00–9.60, progress on 10.xx is almost complete, and 11.xx is being worked on. Once you install 12.00, you can’t downgrade, so jailbreak options are lost.

At the moment, firmware 3.00 to 9.60 can be jailbroken with Kstuff v1.6.4. Work on 10.xx is nearly done, and 11.xx is under active development. Consoles on 12.00 or higher are not jailbreakable yet.
What happens if I skip the PS5 12.00 update?
If you stay on 11.xx or lower, you keep the chance to jailbreak in the future. But you’ll lose access to online features like PSN, multiplayer, and new game updates. It’s a trade-off between stability and security or keeping your console jailbreak-ready.
