Welcome hub: a new personalized space with customizable widgets and backgrounds in your PS5 home screen. Welcome hub is a reimagined version of the Explore tab, which was previously only available in the U.S. It will roll out globally over the next few weeks, starting today for select players in the U.S.

Party share: the ability to share party voice chat links on messaging and social media apps will roll out globally in the coming weeks.

Additionally, thanks to support from our beta participants, the following features that were tested in our latest PS5 beta will be released globally, starting today:

  • Personalized 3D audio profiles for headphones and earbuds
  • Adjust Remote Play settings per user and choose who is allowed to connect to your PS5 console using Remote Play
  • Adaptive charging for your controllers (available for the slimmer PS5 model and PS5 Pro when it’s available)

I’ve been waiting for months for the Welcome hub to come out of beta, so I’m glad to finally see it "released." But after all that time, it’s disappointing that it’s still being phased in slowly, and most people probably won’t get access until November.
 
A personalized 3D profile? Absolutely yes! I just got a Creative G6 for high-res audio with my HD 560S, so the timing couldn’t be more perfect.
 
I just really want a per-game toggle for 3D audio because it sounds awful in games that don’t support it. Same goes for HDR—only a few games actually implement it well. Plus, better VRR with 120Hz always on would be great.
