Sony has rolled out a new system software update for the PlayStation 5, introducing a range of enhancements aimed at refining the gaming experience for users.

Additionally, the update introduces a highly anticipated feature, allowing users to adjust the brightness of the PS5’s power indicator, providing greater control over the console’s visual display.
One of the standout features of the latest PS5 update is the enhancement of audio output on the DualSense controller.

In response to user feedback and evolving preferences, PlayStation has introduced the ability to adjust the brightness of controller indicators, extending this functionality to the power indicator on the PS5 itself. The PS5 console features twin vertical light indicators along its front face, which illuminate in various colors to convey the console’s operational status. Recognizing the potential for these lights to be distracting, particularly during nighttime gaming sessions, the 9.00 update empowers users to customize the brightness of the PS5’s power indicator according to their preferences.
To access this feature, users simply need to update their PS5 console to the latest system software version and navigate to Settings > System > Beep and Light, where they can select the Brightness option to make adjustments. This newfound flexibility allows users to tailor their gaming environment to suit their individual preferences, ensuring an immersive and personalized gaming experience.
