Sony has released a beta version of an upcoming update for PlayStation 5 that adds improved control over DualSense features, shared screen interactions, and the ability to adjust the brightness of the console's power light.

Here's What We Know

PlayStation 5 owners can now use the controller's speakers to generate louder sounds, improving the clarity of in-game audio and voice chat directly from the controller. In addition, the update improves the microphone input to DualSense, offering enhanced noise cancellation through a new AI machine learning model. This technology suppresses background noise, including button presses and sound from the TV or speakers, providing a clearer experience when using the controller's microphone.

On the social front, the update provides the ability to interact with players using the Share Screen feature. This includes drawing lines or sending pings to specific parts of the screen using the new cursors. Viewers can also express emotional reactions to the host with this innovative feature.

The beta version of the update is currently available to members in select countries, with a global release expected in the coming months.
