A new PlayStation 5 beta update is rolling out, bringing several quality-of-life improvements. This follows the recent addition of URL sharing for game sessions. Key features include personalized 3D audio profiles, enhanced Remote Play settings, and adaptive charging for controllers on the slim PS5 model.
Enhanced Audio and Remote Play:
The update allows users to create custom 3D audio profiles for their headphones or earbuds, optimizing the sound experience based on individual hearing characteristics. This is achieved through sound quality tests using compatible devices like the Pulse Elite headset or Pulse Explore earbuds. Improved Remote Play settings grant users finer control over who can access their PS5 remotely, enhancing security and privacy, particularly in multi-user households. Access is managed within the PS5's system settings.
Adaptive Charging and Energy Efficiency:
For users of the latest PS5 slim model, adaptive charging for controllers is introduced. This intelligently adjusts charging times based on the controller's battery level while the console is in rest mode, maximizing energy efficiency. This feature is enabled within the console's power saving settings.
Beta Participation and Global Rollout:
The beta is currently limited to select participants in the U.S., Canada, Japan, U.K., Germany, and France. Invited users will receive an email with instructions. Sony plans a wider release in the coming months. Feedback from beta testers will play a crucial role in shaping the final version of the update. The company emphasizes the importance of community input in improving the PS5 experience.
Building on Previous Updates:
This beta builds upon the recent update (Version 24.05-09.60.00) that introduced URL sharing for game sessions, simplifying the process of inviting others to join. This feature allows sharing a link via QR code for open game sessions. The new beta further enhances the overall PS5 gaming experience with these additional features and refinements.
