Innovations on the interface side
As we said at the beginning, the update also comes with some interface changes that will improve the PS5 experience. For example, it will be possible to mute the “beep” sound when the console is turned on or off. Also, the haptic feedback feature can be activated via the controller while navigating the PS5. When the feature is enabled, system sound effects in certain places will be physically reflected to the user.
In the same account, it becomes possible to assign a second controller as an auxiliary controller. Thus, the two remotes can be used as if they were one. We can say that this feature can be very useful in helping your friends to pass a difficult part of the game, navigating the console.
Apart from this, features such as searching for games in the library, innovations in sociality, reacting to messages with emojis will also come. The update, which is opened for users in certain countries, will be released for everyone in the coming months.
