Sony has graciously supplied the patch notes for the PS4 Firmware Update 6.51 so we can share with you all of the fixes that come with this update. This is kind of a weird update as it seems to fix some problems that the previous update, 6.50, wasn’t able to or maybe it fixes problems that came with 6.50. We aren’t totally sure as it’s vague like usual.
Oddly enough, it still also includes the previous update with it, which is why it’s a decent download size. You can find the complicated PS4 Firmware Update 6.51 below. It seems that most of the fixes in this particular update could be related to the iOS Remote Play that was added in update 6.50. Regardless, you can see it all for yourself below.
