PS5 9.00 feature list​

  • We've updated the device software of the DualSense and DualSense Edge wireless controllers to improve their sound features.
    • The controller speakers can now produce higher volume sound, allowing you to hear in-game sounds and voice chat audio more clearly.

  • We've added new features in Parties and Share Screen.

      • Viewers can use a pointer or indicate a specific location on the gameplay screen with ping.
      • Viewers can also send emoji reactions.
      • This feature is available when the host turns on Viewer Interactions in the Share Screen settings.
  • Unicode 15.1 emoji is supported. You can now use them in messages.

Likely the tech used in the latest Pulse Elite and Explore headsets. Good to see it finding its way to controllers.

A nice update if you ask me. The controller updates for audio and mic are going to be nice for me.

They changed the sleep and shut down animations. Previously it was grey like the system theme, now it is black background. Particles are now white and move into the system led strip in a better animation.

Also tried controller speaker and it feels so much better. It was hard to understand before somehow like it's muddy now the sound is clear.

Still no PS Stars on consoles
Still no themes (the mobile app let's you select colours but not the console)

I dont understand why Sony won't just implement these

I assume they are kepping this in the phone app to encourauge users using it morer frequently. I'd prefer to have them in the console.

Most people don't even know stars exists, even the people that use the App.

True. And even worse, many people who use them don't know they can get free money with them to spend on PSN.

Controller speaker being louder is a game changer. Running a surround system at reference level, I could never hear the controller speaker.

Oh yes. Had a beta. Actually, finding a tech chests in Spider Man 2 was way more easier when it start to peep via Dualsense. It was crystal clear to hear
