Sony has just invited certain users to test firmware 11.50 Beta 2 on PS4 and firmware 9.00 Beta on PS5.
The updates have been sent to certain testers, and as always it is advisable not to put your console in automatic update, but the contributions of these firmwares are real.

Built-in DualSense wireless controller audio enhancements and speaker controllers
– We have updated the device software of the DualSense and DualSense Edge wireless controllers to improve their sound features.
– Controller speaker improvements. Controller speakers can now produce larger sound, allowing you to hear in-game sounds and voice chat audio more clearly.
– Improved noise cancellation. The mic input quality on these controllers has been improved, thanks to a new AI machine learning model. Background noise from button presses and in-game audio is removed, resulting in a better voice chat experience. Install beta system software and update controller device software to enjoy greater clarity of your voice chat audio when using the micro controller.

– With this update, you may feel that sounds coming from your controller speaker may sound louder. You can adjust the controller speaker volume from the Control Center.
Screen interactions
– Players watching Share Screen in full-screen mode can now use pointers and emoji reactions to interact with the host's gameplay.
– Viewers can move a pointer, ping or draw a line on the split screen, allowing them to highlight certain objects or areas to more precisely guide the host player. Viewers can send emoji-based reactions to the host's screen to visually encourage and celebrate gameplay actions.
– Note: This feature is available by default but can be disabled by the host in the Share Screen settings. Both Host and Viewer must participate in the Beta to use this feature during the Beta period.
Adjust the brightness of the PS5 power indicator
– You can now adjust the brightness of the power indicator on your PS5 console.
Of course, you can imagine that the improvements are not the only contributions of these versions, which can also correct flaws that can be used or exploited by some.
Note that Michael Crump has been offering for a few hours to discover the implementation of the RCE exploit on PS4 and PS5.
As a reminder, this flaw was corrected above firmware 11.00 on PS4 and 8.20 on PS5.
