[Sony Interactive Entertainment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horizon-zero-dawn-remastered) introduces a new beta update developed for the [PlayStation 5](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ps5-firmware-update) which will be enabling the wireless controllers. This includes the DualSense and the [DualSense Edge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-accessories-app) controllers so that they are both able to enhance audio experiences overall.

The update will allow the devices to produce louder sounds for players to hear in-game audio and chats at a clearer level. Additionally, the update will also implement noise cancellation to boost the experience further. It also has a better mic input with the new AI machine learning model. The non-audio updates include the option to customize the power indicator within System Settings under 'Beep and Light' and access to the Share Screen tools for better interaction.
