This model is still receiving firmware/platform updates.

What that actually means for your TV →

Sony published North American firmware v6.8224 for this series on 14 July 2026. This proves active firmware support at that date, but is not a promise of a particular future support period. In the UK, Sony's security update table gives a support period ending 14 March 2027 for the XR-55 to XR-98X90L, and Sony UK published firmware v6.8224 on 29 July 2026.

Whether this model runs ACR hasn't been confirmed from a citable source yet.

What ACR is and how to turn it off →

Sony has used Samba Interactive TV ACR on specifically listed older BRAVIA models, and the Texas Attorney General alleges wider ACR use on Sony smart TVs. Neither source confirms this named series. Sony's current Samba support list does not include it, but absence from that list is not proof that no other ACR implementation is present.

Whether this model looks for other devices on your home network hasn't been confirmed from a citable source yet.

How to put a TV on its own network →

No model-specific investigation confirming continuous local-network scanning was found for this series. Ethernet, Wi-Fi, casting, and smart-home support do not by themselves establish that behaviour.
