PlayStation 5 owners can download another big new system update, complete with one or two really handy new features. The March 13 PS5 firmware update enhances the DualSense controller’s speaker, while also improving the noise cancelling for the built-in microphone. While PlayStation 5 users will also be able to adjust the brightness of the console’s power indicator, it’s the Share Screen upgrades that are the real highlight.
Indeed, according to the PS5 firmware update patch notes, viewers using Share Screen can now give pointers to the player controlling the action.
Sony explains more: “Viewers can 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.
“Viewers can also send emoji-based reactions to the host’s screen to visually encourage and celebrate gameplay actions.”
It’s a great way of coaching a newbie through a particularly tricky section of a game, and then celebrating with them once they’re done.
You can see the remaining patch notes below…
