One of the notable features introduced in this update is the ability to adjust the brightness of the PS5's power indicator. In our previous report, we described this game-changing feature as something that "fans have been requesting from the beginning."
If you want to customize the brightness level according to your preference, you can navigate to Settings, then System. Afterward, go to Beep and Light and select Brightness, IGN writes.
Furthermore, Sony has implemented improvements to the DualSense controller, enhancing its functionality and performance.
The controller's speakers now deliver higher volume sound, ensuring clearer in-game audio and voice chat communication. Additionally, the update includes advancements in mic noise cancellation, achieved through a new AI machine-learning model.
This enhancement suppresses background noise from button presses and game audio, resulting in users' enhanced voice chat experience.
