Nice, nice. It's good to see an update that goes beyond just stability improvements... but in case you're wondering, it has that too.

The device software of the DualSense and DualSense Edge wireless controllers has been updated to improve their sound features.
The controller speakers can now produce higher volume sound, allowing you to hear in-game sounds and voice chat audio more clearly.
The mic input quality on these controllers has been improved with a new AI machine-learning model. Background noise from button presses and game audio are suppressed, resulting in a better voice chat experience.
You can now adjust the brightness of your PS5’s power indicator.
Go to Settings > System > Beep and Light, and then select Brightness.
New features have been added to Parties and Share Screen.
Players watching Share Screen can use pointers and emoji reactions to interact with the host’s gameplay.
Viewers can use a pointer or indicate a specific location on the gameplay screen with ping.
Viewers can also send emoji reactions.
This feature is available when the host turns on Viewer Interactions in the Share Screen settings.
Unicode 15.1 emoji is supported. You can now use them in messages.
The device software of the DualSense and DualSense Edge wireless controllers, PlayStation VR2 headset, PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers, and Access controller has been updated to improve stability.
The system software performance and stability has been improved.
The messages and usability on some screens has been improved.

I always felt like the controller volume was very low. I actually like it when devs utilize the speaker.

The best thing from this update is the suppression of button presses on the controller mic. that used to leave me extremely annoyed and made me instantly mute anyone that left their controller mic on.

The updated shutdown animation caught me by surprise.

[Popsicle]

Same hear. Last night in a dark room with an 83 inch panel. Was caught off guard but really liked the new animation.

As long as I get muh stability then I'm chuffed.

Nice, I’m glad the controller speaker volume has been adjusted. It was way too low. I could have sworn it was loud on launch? But anyways.

Good update

Oddly after the system update my friends say that the haptics and button clicks etc. are 'more' audible than they were before, by quite a bit. So much so I had to turn them down further and also choose not to use weapons that had a high occurence of vibrations. I'm not sure if this was coincidence or if I've done something wrong/the update has something that I'm supposed to enable etc. but it wasn't something they noticed last week doing the exact same thing (laser cannon in Helldivers2).
