The year is going to be dense with video game releases, and Sony prefers to prepare for them. The firm announced today the upcoming arrival of an update concerning the PS5 system. After having experienced a beta period for a few testers of its program since the beginning of February, the update is now available to everyone. The added features are worth looking at because they improve the sound aspect but also the interactivity. between players.
New sound for a new life
First of all, Sony is introducing a new update to the DualSense accessories, including the DualSense Edge pro controller. Gamers are no doubt aware that the controllers feature a built-in microphone. This will be significantly improved so that players can enjoy clear sound, all thanks to AI. In its press release, PlayStation explains:
“The microphone capture quality on these controllers has been improved by a new machine learning model based on AI. Background noise generated by button presses and game audio is removed, improving the voice chat experience.”
It's not just the microphone that's getting better, the controller's speaker is getting better too. Now the audio output will be louder. Games that support this feature will be clearer and more immersive.
Backseat will be possible
Unexpectedly, Sony is also rolling out features related to Party interaction. When a screen is shared via PlayStation tools, spectators can now interact with the player's game by displaying cursors or drawing lines. In concrete terms, this will allow your friends to indicate things to you on the screen while you play, without them being able to control your movements. It will also be possible to react in real time via PlayStation emojis and emotes.
This new feature reminds us of an increasingly common practice in the world of video games. Backseat is the name given to the fact of giving indications or revealing the secrets of a game to the one who plays it, with the first aim of helping him, but while spoiling the pleasure of discovery. Overall, Sony's functionality will promote practice. If you want to preserve your gaming experience, it can be deactivated in the settings. Be careful though, once the update is done it will be activated automatically.
