Mute PS5 beep sound. You can now mute or adjust the volume of the PS5’s beep sound when turning it on or off, or putting it in rest mode.

Also now support up to 8TB ssd's. (Previously up to 4)

The accessability features sound nice. I like the haptic feedback in menus
After all these years, I can finally silent the beep
Atmos support is pretty big, should be great
- Ok, what is Atmos?
  
  Edit: Oh, nvm it's sound stuff. I'm sure it'll sound great from our TV's stock speakers :|
  
  PS5 has had simulated 3D audio for TV stereo speakers (and headphones) for a while. Now they'll add discrete 3D to people with real speaker sets
They are adding their Tempest 3D Technology to Home Theatre Systems by using the Dolby Atmos channels including overhead/height speakers…. Thats pretty awesome.
Atmos and the ability to mute the power up beep. Actually looking forward to this update!
They still need to add the ability to disable the blocked scene notification.
Finally Atmos!
I have a surround set with support for Atmos. I have no speakers at the ceiling or anything. Will I notice any difference when I'm using surround now?
Assist Controller is HUGE for people who game with kids! This is great news!
- Or when you want to use DualSense as JoyCon!
  
  This...isn't too terrible of an idea. Could be a fix for walking on the treadmill with my hands at my sides.
  
  Also it'll help me work on my wrist strength 😂
