Plus, there are UI enhancements as well, coming to Game Base and Trophy Cards. Moreover, mono audio for headphones has also been added as an accessibility feature.
The players who live in the UK or US will now get access to test the Voice Command (Preview) feature. It will let them find and open games, apps, and other settings. They can also control the media playback with this option. Unfortunately, for now, the feature will work in the English language only.
However, the biggest feature, so far, coming to the PlayStation 5, following a long wait, is the VRR (variable refresh rate). While the Xbox already has it, for compatible devices, PS5 users will also be able to have it soon, according to the latest blog from PlayStation. VRR is set to launch in the coming months of 2022.
Fans’ Reaction On The Update
While these crucial features, including the VRR, look quite appealing, fans, still, didn’t seem very impressed. On social media, many of the players expressed their frustration over other issues. They mentioned that themes are still not added to the PlayStation consoles.

Also, few of them pointed out that there’s still no way they can play their favorite games on phones without turning off the consoles. “Xbox is way ahead…” wrote one user who probably tried to indicate that Microsoft’s platform is better than PlayStation.
Any idea when they're gonna fully roll out the screenshots/videos being sent to app? Xbox is way ahead in that area
