Sony’s PlayStation 5 has gotten a new update that brings some much-needed audio features that, regardless of the audio devices you use, should come in handy. The update number for the PS5 is 24.01-08.60.00, and one of the other biggest changes it brings is some major improvements to how Parties work.Â
The Parties tab now records a list of all the Parties that were created or joined in the past and players can simply recreate one again without having to add people individually.
On the audio side of things, you can now access an Equalizer that can finally let you fine tune each audio source separately. This should help the most for people who would find Party Chat audio conflicting with in-game audio.
Update 24.01-08.60.00 For The PS5 Is Focusing On Audio & Parties
Sony is making the Pulse earbuds and the upcoming headphones the best way to experience audio no the PS5 after this update. Whenever these Pulse products are close to a PlayStation 5 they will automatically send a notification to the console that will let you connect to it quickly and seamlessly.
