Sony on julkaissut merkittävän PlayStation 5 -järjestelmän ohjelmistopäivityksen.
Se tuo mukanaan useita uusia ominaisuuksia, jotka ovat olleet beta-testauksessa joissakin maissa heinäkuun lopusta lähtien.
Päivitys lisää tuen Dolby Atmos HDMI -laitteille, kuten soundbarille, televisiolle tai kotiteatterijärjestelmälle. Näin konsoli voi välittää PS5:n 3D-ääniominaisuuden Atmos-laitteisiin renderöimällä 3D-äänikanavat (myös yläpuoliset) Atmos-kaiuttimiin.
Se lisää myös uusia saavutettavuusominaisuuksia, kuten mahdollisuuden määrittää toinen ohjain ”avustavaksi ohjaimeksi” yhdelle tilille sekä mahdollisuuden ottaa haptinen palaute käyttöön PS5:n järjestelmävalikossa navigoitaessa.
Näiden aiemmin paljastettujen ominaisuuksien lisäksi on julkistettu useita muita ominaisuuksia.
PlayStation Remote Play on nyt tuettu Android TV OS 12 -käyttöjärjestelmää käyttävissä laitteissa, joihin tällä hetkellä kuuluvat Chromecast ja Google TV (4K-malli) sekä Sony Bravia XR A95L -malli.
Lisää äänikomentoja on saatavilla myös Yhdysvalloissa ja Isossa-Britanniassa, ja PlayStation App -sovelluksen parannukset saapuvat myöhemmin tässä kuussa.
Lue koko korjausmuistio, joka julkaistiin alun perin PlayStation Blogissa.

NEW PS APP ENHANCEMENTS
Later this month, we’ll also gradually roll out some new features for PS App globally, on iOS and Android. Just like the PS5 console updates, you’ll be able to react to messages with emojis and see a preview of someone’s Share Screen before joining the party on PS App.
NEW ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES
Use a Second Controller for Assistance. You can now assign a second controller to one account as an assist controller, and use two controllers to operate your PS5 console as if you were using a single controller.
This feature introduces a new way for you to enjoy games collaboratively with others or help a friend or child navigate a particularly challenging section of a game.
- To use an assist controller, go to [Settings] > [Accessibility] > [Controllers] > [Use Second Controller for Assistance], and then turn on [Use Assist Controller].
- You can use an assist controller when your main controller is a DualSense or DualSense Edge wireless controller, or a PS5-supported third-party controller.
System UI Haptic Feedback. You now have the option to turn on haptic feedback effects while navigating your PS5 with your DualSense controller, DualSense Edge controller, or PS VR2 Sense controller.
- When enabled, system sound effects for certain events will also be reflected physically through haptics, such as moving focus, reaching the end limit of a scrollable section, checking a box, or when you receive a notification or boot up a game. This optional feature enhances immersion and is particularly useful for players with some level of sight or hearing disability, who appreciate the additional feedback on their inputs.
- To turn on this feature, go to [Settings] > [Accessibility] > [Controllers], and then turn on [Haptic Feedback During Console Navigation].
SUPPORT FOR COMPATIBLE DOLBY ATMOS-ENABLED AUDIO DEVICES
3D Audio powered by Tempest 3D AudioTech can now be enjoyed by those who own compatible Dolby Atmos-enabled HDMI devices such as soundbars, TVs or home theater systems.
Tempest 3D AudioTech specifically renders to the Dolby Atmos audio devices in use – including overhead channels – allowing for even greater levels of immersion in the audioscapes of PS5 games.
- To turn on Dolby Atmos, go to [Settings] > [Sound] > [Audio Output] > [Audio Format (Priority)], and then select [Dolby Atmos].
SOCIAL FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS
- Party UI update. You can now invite a player into a closed party without automatically adding the player into the group or creating a new group. Additionally, players can now send open or closed party invitations to groups instead of only individual players.
- Share Screen Preview. When someone’s sharing their screen in a party that you can join, you’ll now see a preview image of their Share Screen, even before you enter the party.
- Join friends’ game sessions easily. You can now easily see which of your friends are in an activity you can join under the [Friends] tab.
- The Joinable icon will be displayed next to friends who are playing a game you can join.
- You can join a friend’s game directly by pressing the options button and selecting [Join Game], or by selecting the ”Join” button on their profile card.
- Game Hub tournaments tile. In the game hub, you can now see how many tournaments you’ve entered and the highest place you’ve achieved, as well as the start time for the next tournament. You can select the tile to see the full tournament list.
- React to messages with emojis. You can now add reactions to messages with emojis, which makes communicating with friends quicker and easier.
