The update also brings a voice command feature to the last-gen consoles. Gamers can use new accessibility features such as mono audio and expanded screen reader language support.<\/p>\n<p>The company will also begin testing Open Party support for groups on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 consoles.

When you start a party, you can now select either an open party or a closed party. An open party lets your friends see and join the party without an invite. Friends of party members can also join. A closed party is only for players you invite.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to report something that someone in a party said, there are now visual indicators for you to identify who was speaking. This will help PlayStation Safety take appropriate action based on your report.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">PS5 Game Base Enhancements<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Voice chats are now called parties. For easier access, they divided the game base menu into three tabs: Friends, Parties, and Messages.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">From the Game Base control menu and cards, you can now:\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">View all your friends under the Friends tab in the control menu, or access the player search feature and friend requests through links on this tab.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Add a player to a group or create a new group directly from Game Base in the Control Center. You can also send text messages, quick messages, images, video clips, and view a group\u2019s shared media from this card.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Increased apps on the home screen\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">You can now have a total of 14 games and apps appear on your home screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">New Accessibility Features<\/h3>\n<p>Screen Reader, which reads aloud on-screen text and provides spoken guidance for operating the console, is now supported in six additional languages: Russian, Arabic, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, and Korean.<\/p>\n<p>You can now enable mono audio for headphones so the same audio is played from both the left and right headphones, instead of a stereo or 3D audio sound mix. This feature provides an added option to enhance the PS5 audio experience, particularly for players with unilateral hearing loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thanks for Reading!!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techzimo.comfree-fire-app-removed-from-google-play-store-apple-app-store-in-india\/\">Free Fire app removed from Google Play Store, Apple App Store in India<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techzimo.combgmi-redeem-codes-today-13th-february-how-to-redeem-redemption-link-and-more\/\">BGMI redeem codes today (13th February): How to redeem, redemption link, and more<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony is rolling out its second software update for the PlayStation 5, bringing a voice command feature, Game Base, and some changes to the user interface.
