The next upgrade system that will land on PS5 It's going to include a lot more of the feature that will allow you to connect new internal PCIe Gen. 4 storage drives (which is no small feat). As those users with access to the beta program have been able to verify, the new software will include many new functions, many of them corrections and others that have been requested since the launch of the console. Do you want to know what they are?
First details of PS2.0 update 5
Among the many novelties, it seems that we are going to find changes in the interface and in the way in which the 3D audio effect is applied. On the one hand, something that didn't make much sense is that you could only update the DualSense when you turned on the console. This caused a peculiar situation, and that is that if you pressed the wrong button, you canceled the update proposal and returned to the main menu, having to turn the console off and on again in case you wanted to update the controller.
This will no longer happen, since in the accessories section in the system settings menu we will now find the option of the wireless controller software, and it will be there where we can update manually the DualSense.
Turning off the console will no longer be a nuisance
All those owners of a PS5 will know that the action of turn off the console From the remote it is a nightmare, since you have to move around a lot through the quick menu until you reach the last option within a submenu. It is an extremely hidden and annoying shortcut that almost no one has liked, and Sony knows that, so they have decided to change it and allow anyone to place it wherever they want. Thus, you can place it in the first line and even to the left of the whole to turn off the console in a couple of clicks. At last!
Parental control improvements, but not perfect
New changes have also been included in parental control that will allow interaction with the requests that the little ones make from the console, being able to accept or deny permissions from the official PlayStation application (very similar to the Xbox parental controls with Xbox Family Settings), in addition to email, which was until now the only way to receive alerts of this type.
The problem is that the identification and login process is still a bit messy and convoluted, since it forces you to go to the browser several times to confirm the user and continue with the parental control configuration process. The changes are welcome, but the overall parental control system remains complex and unintuitive.
Expand the memory of your PS5
The star function of the PS2.0 update 5 is undoubtedly the power of connect PCIe Gen 4 SSDs. It is a long-awaited function, since it will allow you to increase the internal memory of the console without reducing its performance (as long as you use the appropriate SSDs). Later we will give more details of the units that can be used, but the first thing we need is to install the latest PS5 update so that everything works perfectly.
