Latest PS5 Firmware Update Finally Brings Fans A Much-Requested Feature

Aside from the new 1440p resolution option, the new PS5 firmware adds several social features that were missing from the original firmware. Key among these features include options to share screen with friends and easier access to view profiles of users. The new firmware also lets people send stickers and voice messages from the Game Base tool. Sony has also attempted to improve the YouTube experience on the PS5, with the console now getting the option to execute a YouTube search using voice commands. This feature, however, is only open to PS5 accounts registered in the UK and the U.S., with the only supported language being English.

Another key feature enabled by the new PS5 system software is Gamelist — which simplifies the task of organizing games easier. Users can create up to 15 Gamelists, with each list containing up to 100 games. The updated software also lets users compare the difference between PS5’s 3D audio and standard audio. In addition to bringing new features to the PS5 console, Sony also made several updates to the PlayStation app — PS App for Android and iOS devices. Chief feature additions to the app include launching a PS Remote Play Session from your smartphone and initiating and accepting screen sharing requests.
