## Highlights
- **Your whole library at a glance.** Every installed game shows up with its version and the newest update Sony offers for it.
- **Your whole library at a glance.** Every installed game shows up with its icon, its version and the newest update Sony offers for it, sorted A to Z.
- **Update all.** One click queues every game that has an update. PatchDL works through the queue and installs each update as soon as it lands.
- **Fast downloads.** Up to 16 parallel connections per update. Change the number in Settings while a download runs.
- **Survives reboots.** Pause, resume, or lose power: PatchDL saves progress after every finished piece and continues where it stopped.
- **Made for your firmware.** You only see updates your console can run, so no game ends up asking for newer system software.
- **Made for your firmware.** You only see updates your console can run. When the newest one needs a newer firmware, PatchDL says so: *Needs FW 13.20*.
- **Knows where each game came from.** PatchDL checks every game's package and recognizes disc and PlayStation Store installs. It only ever patches games Sony signed.
- **Checked against Sony's checksums.** Turn on verification and PatchDL compares every piece with the SHA-256 Sony publishes for it.
- **A tile on your home screen.** One toggle adds PatchDL to the PS5 home screen. Tap it and the UI opens in the console's browser.
- **Live progress.** A banner at the top shows the current game, speed, time left and where you are in the queue.

**Does PatchDL download games?**
No. It fetches updates for games that are already installed on your console. Nothing else.
**Which games does PatchDL update?**
Games you installed from disc or from the PlayStation Store. PatchDL reads each game's package before it offers anything, and it leaves every other title alone.
**Where do the updates come from?**
From Sony's official update servers, the same files your console downloads on its own. PatchDL only talks to a short list of PlayStation CDN hosts.
