PlayStation 5 system update quietly blocks controversial feature

A recent PlayStation 5 firmware update has seemingly blocked one of the console’s controversial features which has been used to modify user’s controllers as well as allowing the use of macros.

The update in question has quietly blocked what can be considered as quite the controversial feature ofPlayStation 5units: the Cronus Zen device. The product has been criticised for giving players an unfair advantage in competitive multiplayer games such asCall of Dutyas the third-party hardware is home to the likes of aim assist, reduced recoil and more.

“We’re aware of an issue with Zen and the PS5,” the statement reads. “As of January 24, the console is prompting everyone to update to Version: 24.01-08.60.00, and if you do, Zen will no longer connect to the PS5 without disconnecting. However, this update is not mandatory. Simply skip it and everything should still work with the Zen 2.2.2 update as expected.

“There is currently no timetable on a fix so please don’t be offended if you’re directed to check this notice when asking for any kind of estimated time of arrival. It could be 24 hours, 24 days, 24 months, we won’t know until we’ve dug into it.”

As a result, it seems as though the PlayStation 5 firmware has somehow targeted Cronus Zen but it could be a while before we see a fix.
