Popular Post ziggypossum Posted September 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) https://blog.playstation.com/2021/09/14/ps5s-september-system-software-update-launches-globally-tomorrow/ Includes new UX features and customization options, 3D Audio for built-in TV speakers, and M.2 SSD storage expansion Tomorrow, we’re pleased to launch our second major PS5 system software update to all PS5 owners globally. The update includes a variety of enhancements to the PS5 console experience as well as 3D audio support for built-in TV speakers. It also features M.2 SSD storage expansion, which enables PS5 players to store and play PS5 games, PS4 games, and media apps directly from the expanded high-speed storage. We’re also expanding mobile features with support for PS Remote Play over mobile networks starting tomorrow, and the ability to view Share Screen broadcasts on PS App beginning next Thursday, Sept. 23. Thanks to everyone in the community who participated in our system update beta — your support and feedback was valuable. Here are some of the key new features coming to PS5, PS4 and our mobile apps. PS5 September System Software Update Features PS5 UX Enhancements The PS5 September Update features new UX enhancements that make it easier than ever for players to view, personalize and manage their game content and console experience: Control Center customization. Players can now customize their Control Center more freely by rearranging or choosing which controls to hide or unhide at the bottom of the screen. Enhanced Game Base. Players can now easily view and write messages to friends and Parties directly from Game Base in the Control Center. While viewing Game Base in full screen, players can also see how many of their friends are online, busy, or offline, as well as accept, decline or cancel multiple friend requests at once. Game Library and Home Screen updates. If you have PS4 and PS5 versions of the same game installed, they’ll now appear separately in the “Installed” tab of the Game Library and on the Home screen. Each game’s tile now also clearly indicates its platform. Screen Reader controls. Players can now pause or resume Screen Reader (Press “PS + Triangle buttons”) and have it repeat anything it reads (Press “PS + R1 buttons”). New Gaming and Social Experience Customizations PlayStation Now resolution selector and connection test tool. PlayStation Now subscribers can choose between 720p or 1080p (depending on individual game) to accommodate their preferred video resolution for game streaming. A streaming connection test also helps them identify and troubleshoot any problems with their connection. New Accolade Type: “Leader.” Following an online match, players can award others with a fourth accolade type, “Leader,” which is visible on players’ profiles. Automatic capture of “personal best” videos. When players compete in challenges for a better time or a higher score and set a new personal best, a video clip of the action will automatically be recorded. Players can also share clips of their personal bests directly from the challenge card in the Control Center, or from their Media Gallery. Players have direct control over this functionality via their Captures and Broadcast settings. New Trophy tracker. We’ve added a new Trophy Tracker that lets players quickly access up to five trophies per game through the Control Center. 3D Audio Support for Built-In TV Speakers The PS5 September Update adds support for players to experience 3D audio through their built-in TV speakers. Once enabled in the Sound menu, this feature transforms standard two-channel TV speaker audio into three-dimensional sound, heightening the sense of gameplay immersion.* Players can measure the acoustics of their room using the microphone on their DualSense wireless controller to apply the 3D audio setting that’s optimized for their room.** 3D audio via compatible headsets on PS5 has been a popular feature among fans and developers. We’re thrilled to bring this feature to life for players directly through their built-in TV speakers, in addition to the headset support that’s been available since launch. In addition, players with a Pulse 3D Wireless Headset now have access to equalizer settings within Sound Controls, allowing them to customize the sound profile according to their preference. M.2 SSD Storage Expansion Starting tomorrow, PS5 players around the globe can expand their storage capacity with an M.2 SSD, a type of high-speed solid state drive that can be installed in the PS5 console or PS5 Digital Edition console. Once installed in the PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition console, M.2 SSD storage can be used to download, copy, and launch PS5 and PS4 games, as well as media apps. You can play PS5 and PS4 games directly from M.2 SSD storage and freely move games between storage options. Important: M.2 SSDs must meet the minimum performance and size requirements outlined on this page. Using an M.2 SSD also requires effective heat dissipation with a cooling structure (such as a heatsink) that meets the dimensional requirements. Please read the page linked above carefully before purchasing any M.2 SSD or cooling structure for use with PS5. PS Remote Play App and PS App Enhancements PS Remote Play App over mobile networks With the PS Remote Play app, players have enjoyed the ability to remotely stream and play PS4 and PS5 games, switch between games, and browse their console’s menus on any compatible device connected to their broadband network.*** Now, players using the mobile app for iOS and Android have the option of using a mobile data connection when WiFi is not available. Broadband internet with at least 5Mbps is required for PS Remote Play. For the best experience, we recommend a high-speed connection with upload and download speeds of at least 15 Mbps. To help manage the amount of data used through a mobile connection, players can select their preferred video quality for mobile data streaming. Please note the quality and connectivity of your Remote Play experience may vary depending on your mobile carrier network and network environment. View Share Screen broadcasts on PS App Starting next Thursday, Sept. 23, a PS App update will begin rolling out globally and give users the ability to view their friends’ Share Screen broadcasts together. To start, join a party voice chat from your mobile device with a friend who’s playing on a PS5 console. Then ask your friend on PS5 to start their Share Screen broadcast. Please note, only players on PS5 can broadcast via Share Screen. The Android version of the update is a phased release and may take one week until the update is available on your mobile device. PS4 Console Enhancements We’re also introducing some new features for PS4, including the ability for players to view their PS5 trophies on their PS4 profile and Trophy list. Players can also view other players’ PS5 trophies on PS4. On both PS4 and PS5 consoles, Party owners now also have the ability to disband a Party without having to remove players individually. Which feature are you most excited for? Let us know in the comments. *3D audio for built-in TV speakers needs to be enabled manually through the Sound menu in the PS5 console’s system settings (it’s off by default).**A DualSense wireless controller update releasing alongside the PS5 September update is required to activate this feature.***For supported devices and compatibility requirements, please visit: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/remote-play/.

But can I also say Remote Play on a phone in portrait mode becomes nearly useless with how small the view is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Well I'll definitely be getting me an SSD expansion as soon as humanly possible. I love my PS5 but the storage is laughably small, and the Xbox Series X is not much better for out of box storage either (Series S even worse) but they had handy expansion available immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sealightbreeze Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 It would be nice if they listened to their fan base. I honestly miss the themes. It makes me a bit mad that some themes we got for promotional purposes or beating the game- we can't use a theme at all on the PS5 which is a waste 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also like themes on PS5. I always changed themes on my PS4 whenever I pre ordered a new game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTGSruler Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) I should have known. Just did the update and my stats for played hours for all my games are messed up. Trophytracker... do i really need to "manually" assign each trophy for tracking? Shouldn't this be doing it automatically whenever i start a game?

Jeffboy289 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Glad that the vertical Trophy list is finally back! That was the feature i really cared most for this update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakebit10 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Glad the vertical trophy list are back. The feature I was looking forward the most. One issue I noticed for the few minutes I was on this morning. My games played list went from 327 down to 283. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluziion90 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) ohhhh the vertical stuff is the list in the actual game LOL. I was looking at my trophy list like a baboon "uhh what's everyone on psnp talking about" ?... Ok that's actually great. It's also a nice little thing they added the white ps5 / black ps4 logo's on the games imo Edited September 15, 2021 by Deluziion90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangisuckatgamin Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Love the vertical trophy list. Love the quick access to messages being back with no hurdling around to try to find them at all. Love the small appearance changes. difference in ps4/ps5 game logos, the trophy box when hovering over a game appears sharper and bolder (might just be me?) The customization for the command center thing is rather pointless atm but will probably come in use later down the road. haven’t tried trophy tracking yet. (edit: just loaded up a game to try the trophy tracker. I mean the pin to side is nice but distracting. Otherwise I don’t see the point of this feature lol. But I’m sure someone will find it useful.)

Conor Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Vertical list is much better. I don't fault them for trying something new but I hope they've learned the lesson from now on. SSD on its way in but only in about 2-3 weeks due to massive demand I'd imagine (WD_BLACK SN850 1TB with heatsink) Edited September 15, 2021 by Stan Lee 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Property_Damage Posted September 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2021 Its kinda sad that the biggest update that has everyone excited for is a trophy list layout 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I installed the update on my PS4. So far, so good. Nice to be able to see all the trophies now. They really should've had that from the get go. Oh, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umdytr Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Glad that vertical trophy lists are back. The PS5 lists felt like a negative IQ change. Not only were the big ass tiles and layout ugly, but having to individually select trophies just to be able to read their full descriptions? Oh boy. As for the trophy tracker, I'm not sure yet if I'll get some use out of it, but we'll see. I guess it could help for things like open world games with a lot to do at once, in order to focus better on a bunch of things at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
