PlayStation has just released its newest system software update, accessible worldwide starting today. This update for the PlayStation 5 brings exciting features that were previously only available in beta, including improved DualSense audio controls.

According to the PlayStation Blog, players now have more control over their DualSense’s audio with the latest system software update. Both the standard DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers will have access to new tools to customize the audio experience while gaming.

Here are some key highlights of the update:

– Control the on-board speaker: The DualSense speaker can now output higher volumes during gameplay, making in-game sounds and cues clearer. Voice chat functions will also benefit from this enhancement, allowing players to adjust controller speaker sound from the control center.
– Enhanced noise cancellation: The latest firmware introduces advanced noise cancellation to DualSense controllers using a new AI machine learning model. Button presses and game audio that would typically be heard in the background are now effectively suppressed.
– New Share Screen functions: Players can now interact with hosts’ gameplay using pointers and emoji reactions. By sending pings or drawing lines to objects with a pointer or celebrating moments with emojis on-screen, players can enhance their Share Screen experience. Note that this feature is currently in beta and requires both host and viewer participation.
– PlayStation App compatibility: A forthcoming update for the PlayStation App will allow users to engage in Share Screen interactions directly within the app.
– Adjustable console power indicator brightness: Players can now customize the brightness of their PlayStation 5’s console power indicator by navigating to ‘Settings,’ ‘System,’ ‘Beep and Light,’ and then selecting from ‘Dim,’ ‘Medium,’ or ‘Bright’ options.

Stay tuned for more updates from PlayStation as they continue to enhance your gaming experience.
