- Games is one list. Every game shows once, wherever its copies are, and each row names
the places: Installed, a PS5 drive (ext0, usb0, internal), This computer, or a saved server
by name, with how many copies are there. Narrow it with Everywhere, Installed, On PS5 drives
or Your copies. An installed game has Play (or Close game) right on its row.- The five tabs are gone. Their tools are under Manage: Installed games, Games on the
PS5's drives, Your copies (folders, servers, organize, clean up, export) and Dump games.
Old links to the tabs still land there. - Play and Close game are now one implementation everywhere. The game page's Play gains what
Installed games already had: when the console refuses homebrew (0x80940033) it says why,
and repairs a folder that was sent without execute permission.

- Dump installed games, decrypted, with ps5-app-dumper. Under Games → Manage → Dump games:
unlock the dumper once with the code your TV shows, then dump a game (or a queue of them) to
a USB drive or the console, start a game for it, and open finished dumps in Files or
Workshop. - Remote Play in the app (beta). Turn on beta features to get a Play screen that streams
the console to this computer, with keyboard, controller and touchpad input. Accounts has a
Play Here button for a console that is set up for Remote Play. - Send to PS5 is shorter.
- Each queue row shows its steps on one line, "Upload ✓ › Install 62%", or Upload › Mount ›
Add to Home, with the step that failed or did not take marked. - What was found in a source (game details, folder size, the time estimate) and the rarely
used options (speed limit, files to skip) fold to one line each. The folded line still
shows the essentials, and says so when files are being skipped. - "From a link or an archive" and "Already on the PS5" fold to their headings.
- Each queue row shows its steps on one line, "Upload ✓ › Install 62%", or Upload › Mount ›
- Send helper wherever it is missing. Home's console card, Send to PS5 and every screen
that needs the helper offer Send helper in place, instead of sending you to Connection. - Connection holds Devices and Health Check as tabs. The sidebar has two fewer entries.
- Shared Folders: deleting syncs without asking. Deleting a folder no longer waits for a
confirmation unless it would empty more than half the drive. Its files go to the other
side's trash, and the emptied folders go too. Sync now looks at both sides at once, so a
file deleted on the console with Files syncs straight away. The drive's marker file is hidden
in Files, with a note on the folder not to move or rename it. - Screenshots and clips show their thumbnails again (they stayed on a placeholder).
- Smaller things. Files' "What takes space?" moved into the folder's ⋯ menu. The Remote
Play account ID field shows the signed-in account's ID. Workshop's compression tiles no longer
stretch to the tallest one. - Minion: Fan, Processes and Clean up are one System section, with a switch under the
title like Games. The Rail goes from 9 entries to 7. - Security: Remote Play's key exchange moves to k256 0.14, which drops crypto-bigint 0.5
(RUSTSEC-2026-0387, timing side channels). - AVA1, the transfer protocol, is its own open-source project. It now lives at
github.com/phantomptr/ava1 (MIT or Apache-2.0), with its
specification, test vectors, a Rust crate and the C library, so other tools can use it.
ps5upload builds it from thethird_party/ava1submodule: clone with
git clone --recurse-submodules, or rungit submodule update --initin an existing checkout
(makedoes it for you). Nothing changes on the wire: an 8.9.0 app and an 8.8 helper still
talk to each other.- The benchmark switches are now
AVA1_LANES,AVA1_CHUNK,AVA1_LANES_FIRST,
AVA1_LOG_SMALLandAVA1_TIMING(they werePS5UPLOAD_AVA1_*).
