A great update reaches the PS5

A couple of weeks ago an update arrived at PS5 , which focused only on the general improvements we know so much. Fortunately, a new version of the firmware has arrived, which has a series of interesting changes . Next to this, PlayStation has given us a look at the integration of variable update frequency (VRR) that will come in the future.

At this time, update 22.01-05.00.00 is now available for PS5, and weighs only 1 GB . To begin, it is now possible to create or join open and closed groups in the PS5 and PS4 consoles. Next to this, the new console has a series of improvements in the user interface for Game Base and Trophy cards, as well as accessibility functions such as mono audio for headphones.

One of the most interesting changes, is that PS5 players with accounts registered in the United States or the United Kingdom will be able to test a voice command function , which is currently only a previous one, which allows them to search and open Games, applications and configurations, as well as control media playback with your voice, but only in English at the moment.

This is not all, since today a new update will come to the PlayStation mobile application, with which players can create or join open and closed groups . The user interface has also been improved, so that it is easier to access the functions of friends, groups and messaging. Along with this, support has been added for Portuguese, Brazil and Portugal, Finnish, Swedish, Turkish, Greek, Thai and Chinese, traditional and simplified.

That is all offered by today's update. However, PlayStation has revealed that in the future the variable update frequency (VRR) will reach PS5 , so that on televisions and monitors compatible with HDMI 2.1 an increased image quality is offered. This improves the visual performance of PS5 games by minimizing or eliminating visual artifacts, such as frame rhythm problems and tear of the screen. Several titles will receive updates so that they are compatible with this technology, and an option that activates VRR in experiences that do not present support will be available.

The update 22.01-05.00.00 is now available for PS5, and Improvements focused on social aspects You can also find them in PS4. In related topics, it seems that the PS5 "Pro" would arrive at 2024. Similarly, Hermen Hulst reveals why Hen Studios bought.

Editor's note:

While this is a substantial update compared to the latter, we still do not see improvements that really improve or change the way we interact with PS5, which is not bad. Eventually this will happen, but for the moment we only have to wait until the arrival of VRR.
