A new major firmware update for the PS5 is now available from Sony, bringing the system software version to v26.06-14.00.00. This release serves as the official launch of the System Software v3.0-14.00.00 beta update from early August. Among the additions, PS5 Pro consoles now have Enhanced PSSR activated by default, and the Welcome Hub features a new Community Activity widget.
The update includes a few more changes than were available in the previous beta update, including the ability to see who’s speaking in voice chat.
PS5 System Software Firmware Version v26.06-14.00.00
- We’ve turned on Enhance PSSR Image Quality as a default setting. When you update the system software, this setting automatically turns on. When you enable this feature, enhanced PSSR is used even for games that support the previous version of PSSR, so you can enjoy a sharper and clearer visual experience.
- You can now see who’s speaking while you’re in a voice chat.
- To show the speaker indicator, go to the voice chat card in the control center. Select More > Display Who’s Speaking and turn on Display Names.
- To choose where the speaker indicator appears on your screen, select Position.
- We’ve added the Community Activity widget to your Welcome Hub. You can switch between the following views.
- Trending Now displays ten multiplayer games or multiplayer modes that are surging in popularity. Look here for new game releases or games with major content updates.
- Top 10 displays the ten most popular games in the last week for your country or region. Look here to see what games have a large community of players you can join.
- We’ve changed the following features for PS5 consoles and PS5 Pro consoles in certain countries or regions.
- If you go to Settings > Accessories > General > Advanced Settings and select Turn Off Bluetooth, your console does not enter rest mode and HDMI Device Link does not function.
- The Turn Off Bluetooth function is for managing controller connections at esports venues and similar locations. Do not use this feature for any other purpose.
- We’ve improved system software performance and stability.
