Let’s take a look at the new features that arrive with this Beta update
Personalized 3D Audio profiles for headphones and earbuds (available for all PS5 models)
With headphones or earbuds like Pulse Elite wireless headset or Pulse Explore Wireless earbuds, users can run through sound quality tests to analyze many factors to create an audio profile that best fits their hearing characteristics. To create a personalized 3D audio profile for your headphones or earbuds, go to Settings>Sound>3D Audio headphones on your PS5 console and follow the steps on the screen. Your audio profile will be saved on your PS5 per user, and you can still select from 3D audio presets like before.
This feature builds on the 3D audio enhancements the company has introduced to PS5 since launch, including 3D audio support for built-in TV speakers and support for compatible Dolby Atmos enables audio devices.
Enable Remote Play for individual users (available for all PS5 models)
With this Beta update, you can now adjust Remote Play settings per user and choose who is allowed to connect to your PS5 console using Remote Play. To adjust these settings, go to Settings>System>Remote Play>Enable Remote Play.
Adaptive Charging for Controller (available for the latest PS5 model)
Adaptive Charging for 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.
To use this feature, go to Settings>System>Power Saving> Features Available in Rest mode> Select Supply Power to USB ports> Adaptive. Do note that 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.
