WARNING - JAN 24 PS5 UPDATE

We're aware of an issue with Zen and the PS5. As of this morning (Jan 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 as expected. Note: It will update in Rest mode too, so you should disconnect the PS5 from the internet, skip the update, then reconnect it again.

There is currently no timetable on a fix so don't be offended if you're directed to check this notice when asking for an ETA. It could be 24hrs, 24 days, 24 months, we won't know until we've dug into it.

This notice will be updated as soon as we have more information. We appreciate your patience.

Temporary Solution: PS Remote Play

JAN 26 UPDATE:

  1. No you cannot downgrade the PS5 System OS,
  2. No, older Zen beta firmware will not work,
  3. Nor will some special USB hub,
  4. And definitely not something you have to pay for.

All known issues will be posted here - be sure to report all bugs and detailed feedback to the correct community channels. Always remember to make sure your Zen is updated to the very latest versions of Beta Firmware and Zen Studio Software.
