In the latest PS5, Sony offers a voice dictation feature, along with button assignments, closed captions and options to hear on-screen text, or have text messages spoken out loud to other in-network members.

The new features support multiple languages globally and allows manual color correction to adjust color.

Additionally, players will be able to reduce or disable the force of haptic feedback and adaptive triggers on the DualSense wireless controller.
