PlayStation has announced a new system update which includes a new Welcome hub, the ability to share party chat links to social media, personalised 3D audio, adaptive charging for controllers (for PS5 Slim/Pro) and new remote play options.
The biggest addition is a new personalised Welcome hub which is a dedicated space on your PS5 replacing the explore tab with a variety of widgets including console storage, battery levels, online friends, trophies, and many more.
You can also change the background of the Welcome Hub from a range of designs, and screenshots from your media gallery.
It’s rolling out today in the US and in the coming weeks globally.
Another new feature is Party Share which allows you to share party voice chat links on messaging or social media apps so that they can join your party chat without being on your friends list. This will also roll out over the next few weeks and launch into the PlayStation app as well.
After being tested in the beta phase, there’s also a new personalised 3D audio feature that will allow you to personalise the 3D audio, there’s new remote play options os that you can control who can us remote play on your PS5, and there’s adaptive charging for DualSense controller with PS5 Slim/Pro that allows you to change how long you supply power based on the battery life of your controller.
