The PS5 DualSense controller is a special piece of gaming hardware. It might look fairly standard but the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers ofSony’s pad give it a seriously futuristic feel. Now, Sony is aiming to further improve the sensory experience of the DualSense (andDualSense Edge), with the latest PS5 beta firmware bringing some serious audio upgrades.
Secondly, the microphone input quality has been improved using “a new AI learning model” to improve the noise cancelling ability so your friends/rivals will hear you clearer than ever. It probably won’t match thebest headsetsbut it’s a useful upgrade nonetheless.

These are the most significant changes in the update but there is also a nifty new addition to Share Screen Mode - where you can spectate friends playing on their console. You can now “move a pointer around, send a ping or draw a line on the shared screen, allowing them to highlight certain objects or areas to guide the host player more accurately.” or , if you’re like me, trick them into an early game over.
The final change is the least important but another useful one for stealthy gamers like Tech EditorMike Lowewho turned off thebeep sound on startup. You can now also control the lighting on the front of the console, choosing between dim, medium or bright (the standard option). You can’t turn it off completely, however - sorry Mike!
