PS5 System Software Update 26.06-14.00.00 Out Now — Check Out the Patch Notes

Top 10, meanwhile, displays the 10 most popular games in the last week for your country or region. This isn’t information Sony usually provides publicly, so it will be interesting to see what ends up on the list. We don’t know how the list is determined, however. Is it total number of players during the period? Is it by peak concurrents? Play time? “Look here to see what games have a large community of players you can join,” Sony said.

PS5 System Software update Version 26.06-14.00.00 patch notes:

• We’ve turned on Enhance PSSR Image Quality as a default setting. When you update the system software, this setting automatically turns on. When you enable this feature, enhanced PSSR is used even for games that support the previous version of PSSR, so you can enjoy a sharper and clearer visual experience.
  • To turn off this setting, go to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output > Enhance PSSR Image Quality.
  • This feature is available only on PS5 Pro.
• You can now see who’s speaking while you’re in a voice chat.
  • To show the speaker indicator, go to the voice chat card in the control centre. Select More > Display Who’s Speaking and turn on Display Names.
  • To choose where the speaker indicator appears on your screen, select Position.
• We’ve added the Community Activity widget to your Welcome Hub. You can switch between the following views.
  • Trending Now displays ten multiplayer games or multiplayer modes that are surging in popularity. Look here for new game releases or games with major content updates.
  • Top 10 displays the ten most popular games in the last week for your country or region. Look here to see what games have a large community of players you can join.
• We’ve changed the following features for PS5 consoles and PS5 Pro consoles in certain countries or regions.
