A new PlayStation 5 console update is coming bringing personal audio profiles and more

PlayStation have announced the details of their next console update for the PlayStation 5, which will rollout in beta form over the next few days. Included among the additions is the option to have custom 3D audio profiles for each user.

The full breakdown of details can be found on the PlayStation Blog, but her have the highlights for each addition below.

Personalised 3D audio profiles

With a set of headphones or earbuds like the Pulse Elite wireless headset or Pulse Explore wireless earbuds, you can run through a set of sound quality tests to analyse a vast number of factors to create an audio profile that best fits your hearing characteristics. For example, your personalized 3D audio profile may enable you to better sense the positions of characters and objects in a game world more clearly than before, making the experience more immersive.

Enable Remote Play for individual users

You can now adjust Remote Play settings per user and choose who is allowed to connect to your PS5 console using Remote Play. So, if your friends or family members come over and sign in to your PS5 console with their account for PlayStation Network, you can easily modify who can continue to access your PS5 console using Remote Play when they leave.

To adjust these settings, go to [Settings] > [System] > [Remote Play] > [Enable Remote Play], and choose which user you want to enable access to your PS5 console through Remote Play.

Adaptive charging for your controller

Before you get to excited for this update, it is important to know that this is only for the new slim PlayStation 5 consoles, the launch models and any tweaked versions between the launch and last years Slim release, are not able to support this feature.

Adaptive charging for the DualSense wireless controller, DualSense Edge wireless controller, PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers, and Access controller is now available for PS5 beta participants using the latest PS5 model, when the console is in rest mode. Adaptive charging helps save power by adjusting the length of time that power is supplied to your controller based on its battery level.

To use adaptive charging, go to [Settings] > [System] > [Power Saving] > [Features Available in Rest Mode], and then select [Supply Power to USB Ports] > [Adaptive]. After your PS5 enters rest mode, if a controller isn’t connected, the power supply to the USB port will stop after a certain period of time.
