Don’t give up on your efforts Sony to improve the performance of PS5 and we already have a good look at what awaits us with the beta release for console. An update that can be accessed only by a series of guests in countries like the United States, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany and France, so the rest of the globe will have to wait.
There are interesting changes in this version, as though it should be noted that none of these modifications are secured for a definitive patch later. However, we go step by step to have everything clear.
Greater accessibility
The beta allows the use of a second controller that we can assign to an account to be able to play with two controllers, but as if we only used one. In this way we can collaborate with a friend or a child to help him during the game if it is too difficult for him. Of course, the DualSense Edge does not support this function and the motion sensor, haptic feedback and adaptive triggers will be automatically disabled for the second controller.
On the other hand, haptic feedback can be activated so that it works while we navigate the PS5 and can enjoy sound effects when we reach the final limit of a scrollable section, for example. In this way it is intended to help people with some type of hearing disability.
Dolby Atmos support
PS5 3D audio can be reproduced with sound bars, televisions or cinema systems as long as we have HDMI devices that support Dolby Atmos. You need to activate the option in Settings to enjoy it.
Social and internal improvements
We may, if this feature is maintained, invite a player to a closed party without automatically adding the player to the party or creating a new party. If someone shares a screen in a group, we will be able to see a preview image of what they broadcast, even before joining the group. Access to check what our friends are playing and if we want to join their game has also been improved.
PS5 tournaments are displayed on Game Hub, revealing our best ranking and the start time of the next one. In addition, we can quickly react to messages from our friends with emojis. On the other hand, we can search for games within our video game library and help cards have been improved to offer more information.
A change that surely more than one will appreciate is that we can silence or adjust the volume of the PS5 beep when turning it on or off, or when putting it into rest mode.
More capacity than ever
If 1TB of capacity is not enough for you, you can always turn to an M.2 SSD to expand the space, but surely there are those who are still not satisfied. Good news for them, because the maximum capacity has been expanded up to 8TBleaving behind the 4TB, although it is necessary to continue complying with the necessary requirements with compatibility.
