If an update is already available, you will see a message about it. Finally, touch Update system software to start the process.

Discord features in this new PS5 version

While Discord is already available on PS5, it does have some limitations. For example, you will need to transfer calls to the console using a service application on a PC or mobile device. This means that initially you will not be able to initiate calls directly from your PS5.

However, this is likely to change in the future. When Discord came to Xbox last year, that’s how it all started. However, Microsoft console users can now initiate calls right from your gaming system instead of having to resort to third party devices.

In addition to this detail, Discord integration works great. No matter what console or device your friends are using, you’ll be able to chat with them through the dedicated app they’ve released for PS5. At first, the Sony console only supports calls, so you won’t see texts or any other content on it.

Apart from Discord, PS5 also welcomes other news with the new firmware version. Among them is an improvement in the 1440p resolution mode. This feature has been extended with VRR support -Variable refresh rate-. So you can get a smoother gaming experience on your console.

If your monitor was delisted by Sony in the first release of this resolution mode, your PS5 should run at 1440p without too much trouble with the new version. If you want to make sure your screen is capable of running it, go to Settings > Display & Video > Video Out and finally click on Test output at 1440p.

PS5 users in the UK and US can now use the “Hey PlayStation” voice command to ask the console to record clips of their gameplay.. They can also request videos with specific moments, such as “Hey PlayStation, catch the last 5 minutes.”
