Sony has recently rolled out the highly anticipated PlayStation 5 system software update 9.00, following a period of beta testing, and has made the patch notes accessible on its official website. The latest version, labeled as 24.02-09.00.00, introduces several enhancements to the PS5 console experience, particularly focusing on controller functionality and user interaction features.
One of the key improvements lies in the realm of audio, with updates to the device software of the DualSense and DualSense Edge wireless controllers. Gamers can now revel in higher volume sound from their controller speakers, ensuring a clearer audio experience for in-game sounds and voice chat communications. Moreover, the mic input quality has received a boost thanks to a new AI machine-learning model, effectively reducing background noise from button presses and game audio, thus elevating the overall voice chat experience.
Another notable addition is the ability to adjust the brightness of the PS5's power indicator, providing users with more control over their console's visual settings. This can be easily accessed through the Settings menu under System > Beep and Light, allowing gamers to personalize their gaming environment to their liking.
In terms of social features, the update brings enhancements to Parties and Share Screen functionalities. Now, viewers watching Share Screen sessions can actively engage with the host's gameplay by utilizing pointers and emoji reactions. Additionally, viewers have the option to use a pointer or ping feature to indicate specific locations on the gameplay screen, fostering a more interactive viewing experience. This feature can be enabled by the host through the Share Screen settings, providing an immersive platform for sharing gaming moments with friends and followers.
Moreover, Unicode 15.1 emoji support has been integrated into the messaging system, allowing users to express themselves more creatively through messages.
Furthermore, Sony has prioritized stability improvements across various peripherals, including the DualSense controllers, PlayStation VR2 headset, PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers, and Access controller. Additionally, enhancements to system software performance and usability have been implemented, ensuring a smoother and more streamlined user experience.
