FULL STORY
======================================================================

The PS5's latest system software update has arrived, and as ever, this month 
has brought some much-needed quality-of-life changes to the console. 

As detailed on the PS5 system software update support page , 
Version:24.05-09.60.00 is now live. Chiefly, it adds the ability to create a 
shareable link used for inviting friends to multiplayer gaming sessions. You 
just need to open up your game's session action card and choose the new 
option: Share Link. From there, you'll scan a QR code with your phone to 
generate the link. 

Another welcome improvement has come to the PS5's Voice Command feature. It's 
now possible to open up a title's Game Help action cards by speaking the 
phrase "Show Game Help." And while the Voice Command feature is still only 
available in English at present, this is sure to be a helpful accessibility 
update. 

The latest system software update also brings with it the usual round of 
performance and stability improvements. On top of this, Sony notes that it's 
sent out a device software update for "some" DualSense Wireless Controller 
models. Again, to improve stability. 

You can read the full system software update notes for Version:24.05-09.60.00 
here: You can invite other players to game sessions by sharing a URL to the 
session.

- To invite other players, open the game session action card and select Share 
Link . Then, scan the QR code with your mobile device to share the link.

- This feature is available only for open sessions that anyone can join.

- This feature will gradually be rolled out to all players by July 24. Voice 
Command now supports the ability to open Game Help action cards by saying 
"Show Game Help".

- Currently, Voice Command (Preview) is available only in English for players 
with accounts for PlayStation Network in the US and UK. We've improved system 
software performance and stability. We've updated the device software of some 
DualSense wireless controllers to improve stability. We've improved the 
messages and usability on some screens. You might also like... Another
