For starters, the update improves speaker audio on the DualSense. Thus, Sound has a higher volume, allowing players to hear certain game sounds and voice chat audio more clearly. As if that wasn’t enough, the built-in microphone has also been improved. Nishino commented on this:
“Microphone input quality has been improved on these controllers, thanks to a new AI machine learning model. Background noise from button presses and in-game audio is suppressed, resulting in a better voice chat experience.”
For its part, screen sharing interaction has also been improved, and Those using this functionality will be able to use pointers and emoji feedback to interact with the host’s game. As Nishino commented:

Editor’s note:
This is a significant and quite interesting update. What intrigued me the most was the DualSense Control’s audio. While this element may be overlooked by many, it is an important part of many experiences that use controllers as a way to increase immersion or convey additional information to the player.
