Finally, Sony has updated the device software of various controllers and accessories, including the DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers, the PlayStation VR2 headset, PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers, and Access controller, to “improve stability.” It’s the classic “we’ve improved system software performance and stability” patch note from Sony. The PS5 launched in November 2020 during the height of the pandemic and has now sold 54.7 million units in just over three years. This November marks the console’s fourth anniversary, with rumors suggesting a PS5 Pro model is on the horizon. PS5 9.00 update patch notes: We’ve updated the device software of the DualSense and DualSense Edge wireless controllers to improve their sound features. The controller speakers can now produce higher volume sound, allowing you to hear in-game sounds and voice chat audio more clearly. The mic input quality on these controllers has been improved with a new AI machine-learning model. Background noise from button presses and game audio are suppressed, resulting in a better voice chat experience. You can now adjust the brightness of your PS5’s power indicator. Go to Settings > System > Beep and Light, and then select Brightness. We’ve added new features in Parties and Share Screen. Players watching Share Screen can use pointers and emoji reactions to interact with the host’s gameplay. Viewers can use a pointer or indicate a specific location on the gameplay screen with ping. Viewers can also send emoji reactions. This feature is available when the host turns on Viewer Interactions in the Share Screen settings. Unicode 15.1 emoji is supported. You can now use them in messages.
