At the beginning of February, PlayStation 5 owners registered in the beta program were able to discover some new features in advance, including improvements for the DualSense. Nothing too crazy and we were hoping that there would be a few more additions during the final implementation for all users. Well, THE firmware 24.02-09.00.00.45-00.00.00.0.1 is now available, weighing 1.187 GB. The numbering is also only visible in the options since instead of being entitled to details directly from our device as in the past, we are now just sent to the official site via a link and a QR Code… We must believe that the recent layoffs have turned the organization upside down or that SIE just doesn’t care anymore.
Below you will find details of the new features. Note thatonce the new firmware implemented and the console restarted, you will be asked to update the DualSensewithout even needing to plug it in.
