Sony has rolled out the much-anticipated PlayStation 5 system software update 9.00 following a beta testing phase. The update brings several enhancements and new features to the console to improve the overall user experience.
Adjustable Brightness and DualSense Enhancements
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.
