Apple has rolled out tvOS 17.5, a relatively minor update focused on bug fixes and performance upgrades.
Apple's release of tvOS 17.5 is now available to the public on Apple TV and Apple TV 4K after completing another beta testing cycle. As anticipated, there are no public-facing notes of interest for this specific release.
While the version 17.4 release introduced support for SharePlay via Apple Music, it also introduced a bug that broke third-party Apple TV remote integration.

C'mon guys! No mention of what features or fixes are in the update, the link to 17.5 takes you to an AppleInsider page just talking about TvOS17 in general, and there's no link to the apple.com site with the update. A completely worthless article other than a PSA to update if you want.
More of the same. Nothing new. ATV is going nowhere and still is a hobby project for Apple. So much potential, but nothing happens. Time to move on and skip ATV altogether as it gets no love from Apple.
