Welcome Hub: Your personalized little corner of the mess

Dude, it already started with the Welcome Huban area on your PS5 that is like that room you set up the way you want, but without your mom yelling at you to fix it. The thing is, you can customize the widgetschoose what information you want to see right away, such as battery level, space on the console, who is online, your trophies, and a bunch of other options. It almost seems like the PS5 has become a mix between a smartphone and a social network.

And the best part is that it's minimalist, but with a touch of style. You can choose animated backgrounds, or even add an epic screenshot of that time you took a naughty headshot on Call of Duty. Anyway, the sky is the limit, and it will be released little by little, starting with the people in the US and then spreading to the rest of the world. Stay tuned, because it's worth it.

Party Share: Finally, hanging out with the brothers will be great!

Now the ride will be even smoother with the Party Sharea feature that lets you share voice chat links directly on your messaging apps and social networks. It's like that WhatsApp message you send to people inviting you to a barbecue, but on the PS5. You create the link, people scan a QR Code and paste it into the chat directly on the PS5 or PlayStation App. This is the level of convenience we didn't even know we wanted, but now, we can't live without it.

And Sony isn't joking around, there will be an update to the PlayStation App too, for those who want to send these links directly from their cell phones. The future is here, bro. Now all that's left is for the guys to implement a refrigerator built into the controller.

3D Custom Audio: The immersion you never knew you were missing

You already know that the PS5's 3D audio was already out of this world, right? Now they've decided to give it a whole new boost, with custom 3D audio profiles. It's like the PS5 saying: “Hey man, I know your ear is unique, let me calibrate the sound just for you.” You do a quick test with headphones or earbuds and the system configures the audio exactly the way your ears like it.

With this customization, the audio will be so accurate that you'll be able to hear the sigh of an enemy sneaking around the corner of the screen, or even the sound of your character breathing heavily after an epic escape. It's becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate the game from real life, and with this customized audio, the immersion is complete.

Individualized Remote Play: Control the chaos!

If you're the type of person who shares your PS5 with your family or friends, now there's a great thing for you. You can adjust who can access your console via Remote Play. It's like giving a master key only to those you trust. In other words, if your 10-year-old cousin who only plays Fortnite decides to invade your session Elden Ringyou already spoil his buzz.

Just go into the settings, select who can access the console and that's it, you decide who has the moral authority to play when you're not watching.

Adaptive Charging: Less time plugged in, more time playing

Here comes the cherry on the cake for those who hate waiting: adaptive charging for the DualSense, DualSense Edge and PS VR2 controllers. It's simple, but brilliant. The PS5 will now automatically adjust the charging time based on the amount of battery the controller has. So, you won't have to leave the controller plugged in for ages anymore. If the battery is already dead, it will automatically cut off the charging and you'll save energy. It's kind of become a system that's smarter than us, right?

And the cool detail is that this function will be released with the slimmer version of the PS5 and, when the PS5 Pro is released, the thing will be standard. So get ready because, in addition to being stylish, the PS5 will become your personal energy saver.

The Future of PS5 Upgrades

This new update only reinforces what we've been realizing since the PS5 arrived: Sony isn't messing around. With each update, they come up with something we didn't even know we needed, but now we can't live without. Who would have thought that customizing the home menu would be so satisfying? Or that creating a chat link to send on WhatsApp would be the most practical thing in the world?

And with the launch of PS5 Pro and the new slim versions, Sony is basically saying: “We’re going to dominate the gaming world, and if you don’t like it, too bad.” It’s like when they launched the PlayStation 2and you thought it couldn't get any better. Now, with a console that is a true hub for customization and control, the PS5 shows that it is here to dictate the pace of gaming in the coming years.
