A new PlayStation 5 system software update has gone live today worldwide, expanding the console's functionality and improving its performance, as usual, in unspecified ways.

　　As confirmed by the update notes, the 22.02-06-50.00 update not only improves system performance but also adds support for the DualSense Edge controller, the new PS5 premium controller that is releasing in North America and Europe later this month.

　　It has been a while since the last major PlayStation 5 system software update. The 22.02-06.00.00 update was launched back in September, adding, among other things, 1440p support, changes to Game Base, custom gamelists, and more.
