SONY: Sony will beta test ‘Hey PlayStation!’ voice commands for the PS5

Sony will begin rolling out the second PS5 software beta, which will include party chat updates, new UI settings, and a sneak peek at a voice command feature. Your PS5 can listen for the "Hey PlayStation!" voice command to discover and access games, applications, and settings, as well as control playback during a program or song, according to Sony's beta blog. You can turn the function off in settings if you don't want to utilize it.

For beta users with accounts registered in the United States and the United Kingdom, the voice command feature will be available first in English. Party conversations are also getting a makeover from Sony. Parties have replaced voice conversations, and you can now select whether a party is open or closed, allowing your friends to attend without an invitation.
