Sony has now announced an extensive firmware update for its PS5, which is available for download from today. In addition to new audio features and some other functions that improve general user comfort and increase accessibility, Sony has finally heard of his fans and brought nostalgic designs back.
The designs are back
Certainly one or the other could imagine which nostalgic design Sony brought back. For 30 years of Playstation. Now the designs, inspired by the PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4, are permanently available. So Sony heard at the request of the community, which has spoken out for the fact that the designs should not only be rolled out for a limited time.
If you want to use the designs, you can simply do this under the settings> System> Representations> Representations & Sound. It is not yet clear whether the iconic sound comes back from the PS1. Especially for PlayStation enthusiasts, this small, cool surprise could be the opportunity to pimp up its PS5 again.
No more dialogues
But not only designed by design, Sony has increased a lot. In particular, improvements have been made to the sound. With the new "Audio-Focus" feature, Sony wants to significantly improve the audio experience, but also make it more customizable. This function offers various presets.
On the one hand, there is the "Boost Low Pitch", which reinforces deep frequencies such as engine noises, "Boost Voices" highlights the voices in dialogues or voice chats, and then "Boost High Pitch", which makes high notes like steps more audibly, and "boost quiet sounds", the quiet noise increases more. In addition, the volume balance between the left and right audio channels and the strength of the presets can be adjusted. In thePlayStation BlogYou can find all further information about the extensive update.
With the new update you can not only customize the sound experience, and this could be particularly helpful in some games, where the music is usually far too loud, in contrast to the dialogues in the games. But the recurring designs could also provide real joy, especially for long -term fans, especially me.
