The latest PS5 update includes new party and audio features

Sony has rolled out a new PlayStation 5 system software update.

According to the platform holder, Version 24.01-08.60.00 add new party and audio features, plus other improvements.

In the Parties tab, players can now view a list of recently joined parties and restart one of them by selecting it.

The update also adds equaliser settings, a sidetone feature, and additional enhancements for Pulse Explore earbuds and the upcoming Pulse Elite headset.

Update

The latest PS5 system update also appears to have blocked the controversial Cronus Zen device from working with the console.

The multi-platform controller adapter and modding tool can be used to give players an unfair gameplay advantage, such as using a keyboard and mouse to play console games or reducing recoil.
