Popular Post Sailar91 Posted February 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) As the PlayStation 5 console continues to evolve, we’re excited to deliver new features to our community. Today, we’re rolling out the next PS5 system software with a number of fan-requested features, including Discord voice chat and Variable Refresh Rate support for 1440p resolution. We’re also introducing a variety of UX, accessibility and social feature enhancements that make playing with your friends or enjoying your gaming experiences on the PS5 console easier than ever. New Social Features Join a Discord Voice Chat on Your PS5 Console. You can now join Discord voice chats on your PS5 console and easily chat with friends on most other gaming platforms. To start, link your Discord and PlayStation Network accounts from your PS5 console following these steps*. Then, use the Discord app on your mobile device or computer to get a Discord voice chat going on your PS5 console (make sure your Discord app is updated to the latest version). You can also let your Discord friends see when you’re online and what you’re playing. Note: if you’ve linked your PlayStation Network and Discord accounts in the past to display what game you’re playing, you’ll need to link your accounts again on your PS5 console to grant the new permissions needed for Discord voice chat. Start or Request a Share Screen from Your Friend’s Profile. You can now send a Share Screen request or start sharing your screen with a friend, directly from their profile. Simply select the Share Screen icon on your friend’s profile to start a new session. New “Join Game” Icon in Party Chats. On the voice chat card, a joinable icon will be displayed for party members playing a game you can join. You can join the game directly by selecting the player, and then selecting [Join Game] from the menu. New “Friends Who Play” Tile. In game hubs, you can now see which of your friends have the game, who is currently online, and who is currently playing the game. By selecting the tile, you can see what your friends are doing now, and you can also access your friends’ profiles, where you’ll be given more interaction options. Manually Upload Game Captures to PlayStation App. You can now manually select and upload individual screenshots or game clips to PS App from your PS5 console, then easily share them on social media or with your friends.** This feature complements the auto-upload functionality that currently exists on PS App. New Gameplay and Personalization Options Variable Refresh Rate support for 1440p. You can now enjoy smoother visual performance when using a VRR-compatible HDMI 2.1 display at 1440p resolution, when playing a game that supports VRR.*** We’ve also made some updates to the parameters of the PS5 console’s 1440p output test, enabling 1440p support for a wider range of HDMI displays. To check if your HDMI device is compatible, go to [Settings] > [Screen and Video] > [Video Output] > [Test 1440p Output]. Game Library Enhancements. You can now also sort and filter games when adding games to a gamelist. You can use filters in your library to easily find PS VR games, as well as PS VR2 titles when PS VR2 launches later this month. Game Presets for Multiplayer Session Preferences. You can set your preferences to manage who can join and who can invite other players to multiplayer sessions you’ve created for supported games. Go to [Settings] > [Saved Data and Game/App Settings] > [Game Presets] > [Online Multiplayer Sessions], and select your preferences in [Who Can Join] and [Who Can Invite]. New Accessibility and Ease-of-use Features PS4 to PS5 Saved Data Migration. We’re making it easier for you to access your PS4 saved data on your PS5 console through two ways: When you download or install a PS4 game on your PS5 console, a notification that PS4 saved data is available in your PlayStation Network cloud storage will appear (if your PS5 console doesn’t already have saved data for the game). Simply select the notification to download your saved data. When you download or install a PS5 game that can load PS4 saved data, such as the PS5 version of a game that was also released on PS4, the same notification will appear (if the game supports this feature). (Note: online storage for saved data requires a PlayStation Plus subscription) PS5 to PS5 Data Transfer. You can now easily transfer the data on your PS5 console, including games, saved data, user profiles, settings, screenshots, and videos, to another PS5 console using a local Wi-Fi network or a LAN cable. You can either transfer the data during the initial PS5 console setup or later from the settings menu. This process doesn’t remove or modify the data on your original PS5 console. Screen Reader Improvements. The screen reader now gives more detailed guidance when navigating the console. It will now tell you which direction you can move from the currently selected component, as well as your current position in a component with multiple items. Additionally, when using the screen reader to view web pages, you’ll now see borders around the section that’s being read aloud. Wireless Device Update for DualSense Wireless Controller. You can now update the DualSense wireless controller device software with a wireless connection. If you have trouble updating the device software wirelessly, connect your controller to your PS5 console using the USB cable to update it. You’ll be able to update wirelessly for the next update. Game Capture Using Voice Command (Preview): U.S. and U.K. limited release Voice Command now supports using your voice to save video clips of your gameplay. Say “Hey PlayStation, capture that!” to save a video clip of your recent gameplay. The default duration saved is based on your settings. You can also save a specific duration of your gameplay, from 15 seconds to 60 minutes. For example, to save 5 minutes, say “Hey PlayStation, capture the last 5 minutes”. Say “Hey PlayStation, start recording” to manually start a new gameplay recording. You can then say “Hey PlayStation, stop recording” to end the recording and save the video clip. Voice Command (Preview) is currently available in English for beta participants with accounts registered to the U.S. and U.K. Source: Ps Blog Edited March 8, 2023 by Sailar91 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEE11W Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Not a fan of discord! I’m sure others love it. But not me, hate it with a passion. I create one for the boosting, “if it’s required” immediately delete it afterward. Afterwards, started to stay clear of any sessions involving discord and only join PSN groups. PSN communities miss it so much. Most people say we use its chat because so many can join. What’s the point, it gets messy quickly everyone speak same time. Maybe my runs or the time used it, no much organization. Others might have better experience. Even PSN at time gets messy granted. Still! That’s my thoughts about it. I don’t even have any social media accounts. Good for the people that use it frequently. Edited February 2, 2023 by ZEE11W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the main reason for discord is to talk with friends that play on PC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sepheroithisgod Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Can you close the app once you are in the chat? Or does it need to be on the whole time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yowzagabowza Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I guess the only thing I'll ever use is the wireless update for the controllers. They'll do anything but allow you to move a fuckin' tile on the home screen, won't they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRetroManiac Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Might give this a go as I was emailed a code for the beta. I miss the PS Communities sometimes you could get a gaming session pretty fast and not have to wait till the gaming sessions filled up it was a useful tool, but I'm sure Discord will be awesome.

Pumpkin Head Cthulhu Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 they still need to add the ability to back up PS5 saves to a USB, i doubt that they will though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindMango Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Looks like I got an email invite! Some pretty useful features with this one for sure, some things that I'm surprised weren't there before like the Join Game icon and actually making "Friends Who Play" something you can open a list of (which blows my mind how unhelpful this was previously) Edited February 3, 2023 by BlindMango 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyGallethX3 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Still waiting for them to remove the Accolades section on my profile. If they remove the feature, then how hard is it to remove the huge box UI, It's a complete waste of space and ugly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they still haven't removed this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangisuckatgamin Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 This will be great for being able to play with a pc friend who won’t come back to consoles. Definitely excited to be able to finally use my ps5 to game with them now without any hassle! Now we just need more steam games available on console!

I didn’t install the beta and my playtime tracking broke too. It happens every so often and usually lasts a few days. It’s probably not related to the beta update. There’s a thread about it in this section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yowzagabowza Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 We need to be allowed to back up saves to USB and pin tiles where we want. How is this hard? I know they want to force us to subscribe to Plus for save backups, but that is some slimy shit, man. I won't use any of these new features. Not a one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume they are eventually going to replace this with the PlayStation Stars trophy cabinet. At least that's sort of relevant now, instead of some feature that's been dead for months and that no one really used anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soliunasm Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Still waiting for them to add folders that aren't tied to my dumb Game Library section that I hate using because it's so cluttered, the ability to choose 1080p screenshots instead of forced 4K screenshots since I play at 1080p and not 4K (PS4 Pro could do it, what's the issue here? Several of the games I play don't even have 4K modes so it's just taking 1080p screenshots and upscaling them for no reason), the ability to backup my save to USB or PC like I could on PS3, PS4, Vita, and even PSP, a way to clear the "Other" section using some sort of option in Storage, and an implementation of Playstation Stars outside of the app. I don't get why it's taking so long for Sony to do some of these things, the "Other" issue should have been able to be fixed day of release instead of relying on full formats of your system or risky power plug ripping to free up potentially hundreds of GB. Apple has the same issue with iOS. Edited February 11, 2023 by soliunasm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
