Users from multiple regions can test
Sony has begun testing a fresh beta version of the system software for the PlayStation 5 game console among users. The update brings several important improvements at once.
The beta version has started rolling out as of today, July 31, 2023, in a number of countries. Sony usually releases a similar stable update to all PS users in a few months.
Sony offers Dolby Atmos and M.2 SSD up to 8TB trials on PlayStation 5
The biggest addition was support for Dolby Atmos. With PS5 games, users will be able to take full advantage of Dolby Atmos-enabled devices such as soundbars, TVs, or home theater systems.
Another innovation is an increase in the limit on the amount of SSD M.2. Currently supported up to 4 TB, but the beta version increases the limit to 8 TB.
Other new additions include the ability to enable haptic feedback on the DualSense controller while navigating the PS5 UI. It will also be possible to assign a second controller to one account in order to use it as an auxiliary. This can come in handy for helping kids or friends through a tricky part of a game or navigating the PS5 user interface.
Users will be able to invite players to a private “Party” without adding them to a group, and send invitations to groups, not just one friend. Sony has also added emoji to messages and so on.
Users aged 18 and over in the US, Canada, Japan, UK, France, and Germany can sign up to participate in testing .
