Exciting updates for PlayStation owners
Sony has recently unveiled a significant free upgrade for millions of PlayStation owners, bringing along some major changes in this week's new PS5 system update. Among the surprises is a boost for DualSense controllers, along with other exciting features that have left fans buzzing with anticipation.
Enhancements for DualSense controllers
One of the standout upgrades in the latest update is for the DualSense and DualSense edge controllers. Sony has amped up the speaker volumes on these controllers, promising a clearer in-game sound and voice chat experience for users. Additionally, noise-cancellation on the DualSense controller's microphone has been enhanced, providing a better overall voice chat quality.
Improved Share Screen feature
The Share Screen feature has also received a revamp in the update. Players watching Share Screen in full-screen mode can now use pointers and emoji reactions to engage with gameplay. This feature, which is enabled by default, can be turned off in settings by Share Screen hosts. To access this feature, users must be part of the PlayStation beta program.
Adjustable PS5 power indicator brightness
In a move that's sure to please many users, the update now allows for the adjustment of the PS5 console's power indicator brightness. By simply navigating to Settings > System > Beep and Light > Brightness, users can customize the brightness level at any time. This feature is particularly valuable for those who find the default brightness too intense in dark environments.
Community reactions and missing features
PlayStation fans have taken to Reddit to share their excitement over the latest updates. While many praised the enhancements, some were left disappointed by the absence of certain features. One notable missing feature was the ability to share screens on Discord, with fans expressing their desire for this functionality to be added in future updates.
