A system software update for PS5™ consoles was released on 3/23/2022.
System Software Features on PS5 Console
Update your PS5 console with the latest system software. You can also check out the features available in the update here. You can view the online user guide in the PS5 console's Settings menu.
Version: 22.01-05.00.00
In (Game Base) we have updated the following:
Voice chats are now called parties.
For easy access, we've divided Game Base into three tabs: [Friends], [Parties] and [Messages].
You can now do the following from the Game Base control menu and cards:
See all your friends on the [Friends] tab in the control menu.
Start Share Play directly from the voice chat card. You no longer need to start screen sharing to use Share Play.
Add a player to a group or create a new group directly from the message card. You can also send video clips, images, quick messages, and view a group's shared media on this card.
Now, when someone in the party is sharing the screen, you will see the “On Air” icon. You can check this on the [Parties] tab.
The player search feature and friend requests are now on the [Friends] tab.
We've made it easier to decline friend requests by adding the [Decline] button to your friend request list.
Under (Accessibility), we updated the following:
For the screen reader, we updated the following:
The screen reader now supports six additional languages: Russian, Arabic, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish and Korean.
Now the screen reader can read the notifications aloud.
You can now enable mono audio for headphones so that the same audio is played in both left and right headphones.
With headphones connected, go to [Settings] > [Audio] > [Audio Out], then turn on [Mono Audio to Headphones]. You can also go to [Settings] > [Accessibility] > [Display & Audio] and then turn on [Mono Audio to Headphones].
It is now possible to display a checkmark on enabled settings so you can easily see if they are enabled.
Go to [Settings] > [Accessibility] > [Screen & Audio] and then enable [Show checkmark in enabled settings].
Under (Trophies), we updated the following:
The visual design of trophy cards and trophy list has been updated.
You can now see suggestions for which trophies to earn in the trophy control when playing.
For the features available in the Create menu, we've updated the following:
You can now start screen sharing and broadcast your match to an open party.
We added a new feature: Voice Command (Preview).
Voice Command (Preview) understands voice commands to find and open games, apps, and settings, as well as control media playback.
To get started, go to [Settings] > [Voice Command] and enable [Enable Voice Command (Preview)]. Then say “Hello PlayStation!” and ask your PS5 to do something.
You can use this feature to find and open games, apps and settings, control your media, and more, without even touching a button.
Voice Command (Preview) is currently only available in English for players with US and UK PSN accounts.
We added Ukrainian language support.
Other updated features
We've made the following improvement to the game library:
On the [Your Collection] tab, you can now filter your games by genre to find the games you want to play faster.
PlayStation Plus is pinned to the far left of the games home screen.
Now you can redeem monthly games faster.
Get easier access to PS Plus game collections from the main screen.
Added a button guide to show you how to reload and adjust zoom when using the web browser.
If you want to report something someone in a party said, there are now visual indicators for you to identify who was talking. This will help the PlayStation Security team take appropriate action based on your report.
We've made the console more secure for child accounts:
When viewing a purchased or installed game that they are not allowed to play, the game's background image is hidden.
Activity cards, such as those displayed in the control center or game hub, will not be displayed for age-restricted games.
You can now keep selected games or apps on your home screen.
When you have a game or app selected, press the options button to open the Options menu
