Sony has released system update betas for PS4 and PS5 with new features and user interface improvements. This is the second PS5 system software beta released so far. So what are the new features coming to PS4 and PS5? Let's take a look together.

What Are the New Features Coming to PS4 and PS5?

As part of the new features coming to PS4 and PS5, Sony introduced new ways to personalize group chat, Game Base and accessibility settings. The PS4 system software beta came with the community-requested Open Parties feature. This feature is also available in the PS5 beta as of now. With the new party chat option, you can have both open and closed parties. In addition, there is a voice chat reporting feature that provides visual indicators for determining who is speaking. You can now start SharePlay directly from the voice chat card. This means you no longer have to start Share Screen first.

On PS4, you have the option to adjust the volume of everyone in a party individually. On PS5, this feature is already available. Sony also made some basic improvements on the PS5 side. It has now named voice chats parties. You can view all your friends in the Friends section of the control menu. You can create a group directly in-game and add players to it. In the control center, a live broadcast icon now appears when someone in your group shares their screen. In addition, you can easily cancel friend requests with the decline button.

New UI features have also come to PS5. These include the option to list your game collection by genre. With the Options button, you can select 'Keep in Home' to pin games or apps of your choice to your home screen. The beta update also raised the number of apps on the home screen to 14. Six more languages were added to Screen Reader, which reads on-screen text aloud and provides spoken guidance for operating the console. Finally, the beta update adds mono audio support for headsets. It is displayed with a check mark in settings so you can see that it is on.
