You can also say “stop recording” or “save video clip” to end the capture and save it to your media gallery. To use voice commands on your PS5, you need a compatible headset or microphone connected to your controller or console.
  4. Other improvements:

    • The PS5 firmware update 7.0 also includes some other enhancements, such as faster loading times for some games, better stability and performance for the system software, and more accessibility options for players with disabilities.
