PS5’s new system update is out now, adding Welcome hub and Party Share
The latest PS5 system software update is rolling out now, adding the new Welcome Hub, Party Share, and more.
Welcome Hub is a new personalized space with customizable widgets and backgrounds on your PS5 home screen.
Welcome Hub is a reimagined version of the Explore tab, which was previously only available in the U.S. It will roll out globally over the next few weeks, according to Sony, starting today for select players in the US. The rest of the update is currently rolling out in all regions.
Party Share, which allows users to share party voice chat links over messenger apps, will release globally starting today.
Personalized 3D audio profiles for headphones and earbuds, adaptive charging for controllers (designed to save power), and more remote play settings are also included in the latest update.
Once players have updated their PS5, they will also have to update the firmware on their controllers in order to use the new features.
Adaptive charging works with the DualSense wireless controller, DualSense Edge wireless controller, PS VR2 Sense controllers, and Access controller when connected to the USB Type-C port on the slimmer PS5 console (CFI-2000 model group – slim) or PS5 Pro, using the USB Type-C cable included with your PS5.
The PlayStation Portal remote player does not support adaptive charging.
