Errors using 3rd party software to download saves to transfer them via USB

1. Wait for the patch to come out from the 3rd party's official page.

Each time PlayStation comes out with a software update, all 3rd party software used for saving and transferring game files always stop working. All the 3rd party software engineers that regularly maintain their product will always come out with a patch after an update so that you can continue to use it. If a patch is not released, it may be time to look for a new one.

No longer being able to use PSVR without the PlayStation Camera

1. Buy a PlayStation Camera.

Everyone who was by-passing the need for a PlayStation Camera, for whatever reason, might be a little upset to hear this news. Before, you could go around a back way to avoid having to set up the camera when using your PSVR for Cinematic mode and other features. With the new 6.0 update, there is no longer a way to do this. (as of right now) Until one is discovered, you'll need to borrow a PlayStation Camera to hold you over if you don't want to buy one.

Errors when restoring a PS4 that is in 6.0 Beta

Our top equipment picks

Of all the consoles you could have, the PlayStation 4 Pro is still reigning over all the options for a multitude of reasons.

With all the specs that are upgraded with the PlayStation Pro, it's hard to not want to upgrade. Not only will your PSVR experiences be significantly enhanced, but all of your usual games will run (and look) that much better with all the mode options. Performance aside, the PlayStation Pro is sure to have space and specs required to run all of the updates (including those in the future) with ease. On top of this, it has a 1 TB hard drive to store all those games and save files you hold dear.
