New PS5 Beta Brings Custom 3D Audio Profiles, Adaptive Charging for Controllers, Remote Play Settings
Sony announced a new update for PS5 beta participants on Wednesday. The PS5 beta brings support for personalized 3D audio profiles for headphones and earbuds, the ability to limit Remote Play access for individual users and adaptive charging for DualSense controllers for beta users on the latest PS5 slim model. The beta rolled out to eligible users Thursday, with a global release planned for later.
The PlayStation parent said users selected to participate in the beta will receive an email invitation Thursday when the update is available to download. The beta update will be accessible to invited participants in the US, Canada, Japan, UK, Germany and France. While Sony plans to release the update globally in the coming months, it said that some features from the beta update could be changed or might not even make it to the final version.

The PS5 comes with support for 3D audio, and with the new update, players can create personalised audio profiles for supported headphones and earbuds, like Sony's Pulse Elite wireless headset or Pulse Explore wireless earbuds. The feature would allow users to perform various sound quality tests to determine a profile that suits them best.

The 3D audio profile feature can be found in the Sound section within PS5 Settings.
