In early February, Sony released update 24.02-09.00.00 for PlayStation 5 in Beta phase. For such reason, it was only available to some players, who tested the new features and several improvements for DualSense. The good news is that the system update is finally available to the entire community. This morning, Sony confirmed that the update is out of Beta and that players can now update their console.
What's new in the new PS5 update?
The update makes interesting tweaks to improve the various audio features of the DualSense and DualSense Edge. Specifically, their speakers will be able to sound louder and noise cancellation was optimized using artificial intelligence.
Another new feature that gamers will appreciate is the ability to adjust the brightness of the console's power indicator. Also, more functions have been added to the Groups and Screen Sharing options. Below you can see a list of all the additions:
