Sony's PlayStation 5 (PS5) just got a major firmware update, their largest of the summer. First tested in beta during August, it's now accessible to all console owners globally.

Notably, the update brings Dolby Atmos support, which enhances audio experiences on devices like soundbars, TVs, and home theater systems. To generate this enriched audio, Sony is using its proprietary Tempest 3D AudioTech with Atmos.

The update also allows the use of larger-capacity M.2 NVMe SSDs, supporting up to 8TB now. Plus, there's expanded support for more Android devices for PS Remote Play.

Additionally, two essential accessibility features have been introduced. First, a second controller can be used to assist in operating the console and playing games. The second feature allows users with hearing or visual impairments to get haptic feedback via the controller while navigating the system User Interface (UI). The haptic feedback sends new, customized alerts for actions such as reaching the end of a stack, checking a box, receiving a notification, and starting a game.

To make sure you get this update, leave your PS5 in Rest Mode, but if necessary, you can manually force the update.
