Shareable Links for Multiplayer Sessions
There are new shareable links so that players can directly invite people into their multiplayer games. First announced in May, the feature is live today. For this to occur, a player simply needs to use the "Share Link" setting on their game session action card to create a QR code. Other players will be able to join the session by scanning the QR code via mobile device. This is only for open game sessions available to all players, of course.
Additional Enhancements and Stability Fixes
Apart from the shareable links, this update introduces a few more features. Key among such features is the support for voice commands whereby players will now launch a Game Help action card with only their voices by saying, "Show Game Help." This functionality is currently available in English and only to PlayStation Network users in the US and UK.
This update also brings optimized system software performance and stability, updates to the device software for some DualSense wireless controllers, and improved messaging and usability features on some screens. These come as changes in Sony's continuous process of fine-tuning the PS5 experience.
The update began rolling out for all players on July 24. The full patch notes can always be viewed for more information on these changes.
