PS5 DualSense: 2 updates coming to your controller, including better audio

Your PS5 controller is about to get a little better.

Sony updated the PlayStation Blog Tuesday with an article about the latest beta update, which is only available to select guest users. However, the post clarifies that the update will be rolled out globally in the near future.

3 new features for PS5 DualSense

Starting with the audio improvements, the DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers get the following upgrades:

• Speakers can now play at a higher volume than before

• A “new AI machine learning model” has improved the built-in microphones, so they don’t pick up noises such as button presses or in-game audio.

They’re both pretty self-explanatory and seem to only apply to users who prefer to get audio from the controller’s speakers and use the built-in mics for voice chat. In other words, gaming headset users probably won’t even notice these improvements.

Apart from that, the beta update changes the PS5’s screen sharing feature so that anyone watching you play a game can send emoji reactions and use a slider to highlight items on the screen. screen. (Yeah, that It won’t be boring.)

As always, some of these features might be changed or removed entirely by the time the update is ready to roll out globally.
