PS5The first major system software update of the mainframe will be launched globally tomorrow, containing many new features and improvements. Our team is committed to enhancing your PlayStation experience in every possible way. Here is a brief introduction to PS5, PS4And new content in the PlayStation App:
PS5 storage space expansion and management
●Save PS5 games to a compatible external device USBHard drive. * With this function, you can transfer PS5 games from the internal storage space of the console to the USB expansion storage space. This is an excellent way to expand the storage capacity of your PS5 console. When you are ready to play, you can smoothly copy PS5 games back to the console’s internal storage space. Reinstalling PS5 games from USB expansion storage space is faster than re-downloading or copying from CD.
●Since PS5 games are designed to utilize the super-high-speed SSD of game consoles, it is currently not possible to play PS5 games from the USB expansion storage space, and PS5 games cannot be downloaded directly to the USB expansion storage space. However, games you transfer or copy to internal storage will be automatically updated when applicable. In addition, for specific games that support options, you can choose the game mode you want to install (for example, campaign mode or multiplayer mode).
●For tips on using PS5 USB to expand storage space (including storage device requirements), please refer to: https://www.playstation.com/zh-hant-tw/support/hardware/ps5-extended-storage/.
As previously announced, PS5 consoles will support M.2 hard drives for storage expansion in the future. We are working hard to implement this feature and will keep you updated on the PlayStation Blog.
New social features for PS4 and PS5 consoles
●Share and play across generations.PS4 and PS5 players can now use “Shared Play” together and chat in the party at the same time. This means that PS5 console players can let their friends watch their game screens on the PS4 console, and even try out PS5 games through “Share Play”, and vice versa. Options include sharing the screen with a friend, transferring the controller to a friend in a virtual way, or transferring a second controller to a friend in a virtual way to play a multiplayer cooperative game together.
●Request to join the game connection area. Friends can join the game connection zone dialogue will appear on both PS4 and PS5 consoles, allowing you to have more opportunities to play together. It also serves as a shortcut to send game invitations, shortening the time it takes to start the game with your friends. Through the privacy settings menu, you can adjust who can interact with you through parties, games, and messages.
Strengthen the control and personalization options of the PS5 console
●Improved Game Base. The Game Base menu has been improved to provide faster access to important content and functions. You can easily switch between parties and friends to start chatting in an existing party or see what each online friend is doing. In addition, you can choose to turn notifications on or off for each party you join.
● Disable game chat or adjust the player’s volume.You can now quickly disable the in-game chat function, which will turn off your microphone and other players’ voices. In addition, you can easily adjust the individual voice chat volume of other players in the same chat, so you don’t have to remind your friends to lower or increase the microphone volume every time.
●The game update is pre-downloaded.After the developer has enabled it, if the “Auto Update” is set to enable and your console is on or in standby mode, game updates will be downloaded to your console in advance. This will allow you to play the latest version of the game as soon as the update is released.
●Customized game save library.With the functions of searching the library and hiding the game from the viewing screen, it is now easier to find content in the game library or to personalize the viewing screen.
