For PSVR 2, the update gives players the peace of mind to know they aren't unintentionally broadcasting their surroundings. Players can now choose to block see-through view to prevent the camera's see-through image from being displayed while using PSVR 2.
For the new voice commands, players can now say «What's new?» and the system will bring up any new features that might be available. Finally, Sony said the PS5 update has «improved the messages and usability on some screens.»
You can see the full patch notes below.
