Improved Wi-Fi Connectivity:
Initial reports highlighted suboptimal performance with Wi-Fi connectivity. However, Sony's recent Update 3.0.1 significantly improves this, enabling connections to 5GHz networks and resulting in more stable remote play, as evidenced by positive user feedback. A minimum 5Mbps broadband internet connection is still recommended. Get ready for a smoother, more portable PlayStation experience!
