Sony PS5 update brings new accessibility features, 8TB storage support and more

Sony has announced that it is rolling out a new PlayStation 5 system software update globally. This update includes a number of features from the latest PS5 beta, including new accessibility features like the ability to use a second DualSense controller for assistance, new audio options that allow 3D Audio powered by Tempest 3D AudioTech to be played on compatible Dolby Atmos-enabled HDMI devices, and much more.

“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,” the company said in a blogpost on September 13, 2023.

Users now also have the option to turn on haptic feedback effects while navigating their PS5 with their DualSense controller, DualSense Edge controller, or PS VR2 Sense controller.

With the latest update, 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.

Moreover, users can now use an M.2 SSD with a maximum capacity of 8TB (up from the previous 4TB limit) to expand storage space on their PS5 consoles.

Other features include the ability to react to messages with emojis, see a preview of someone’s Share Screen before joining a party, search for games within your game library, mute or adjust the volume of the PS5’s beep sound when turning it on or off, and more.

The company only recently announced the India pricing of the console and now finally we have unboxings of the console going live and one thing is pretty clear - The console is HUGE!  So what do you get in the box? Well… besides the console itself (and the manuals), you get: DualSense controller USB Type-C charging cable for the controller HDMI 2.1 cable Power cable for the console (no bulky adapter/box) Plastic stand Now the plastic stand is used if you place the console on its side.
