PlayStation’s second major PS5 software update is coming to all PS5 tomorrow globally. This update includes a variety of enhancements to the PS5 console experience as well as 3D audio support for built-in TV speakers, which include M.2 SSD storage expansion, which enables PS5 players to store and play PS5 games, PS4 games, and media apps directly from the expanded high-speed storage.
Apart from PS5 mobile features will also receive feature updates with support for PS Remote Play over mobile networks, and the ability to view Share Screen broadcasts on PS App which beginning next Thursday, Sept. 23.
Here are the Keys Feature on the upcoming updates;

Players can now pause or resume Screen Reader (Press “PS + Triangle buttons”) and have it repeat anything it reads (Press “PS + R1 buttons”). - PlayStation Now resolution selector and connection test tool.
PlayStation Now subscribers can choose between 720p or 1080p (depending on the individual game) to accommodate their preferred video resolution for game streaming.

Players have direct control over this functionality via their Captures and Broadcast settings. - New Trophy tracker.
