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 thePS5 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,Sonynotes that it’s sent out a device software update for “some"DualSenseWireless Controller models. Again, to improve stability.
