But the important thing is that you will be able to launch commands with “Hey PlayStation”, just as it is done with some devices with “Ok Google”.

This isn’t the only new thing coming to the PS5 with the update. Group chats will be known as parties now and will have the option to mark them as private or public. If they are public, anyone can join them.
