729 viewsOtherTechnology

when a company releases a new version of software, like a game or a ps4 or a phone, how does it know that it has to update? how does the company tell the PS4 that it has to update now, and how does it tell every PS4 this?

I think the console checks if there’s an update and not the other way around. The company releases the update and the console keeps checking every X amount of minutes/ hours.
I think it will be chaotic if all consoles update simultaneously.
