This update allowed users to use M.2 SSD memories on their PS5, as well as they also applied some improvements and inclusion of features.

Improvements coming with the September 15 update
User experience improvements
The new version will arrive with improvements in the Control Center, which will allow us to experience greater personalization. The Game Base section will also be updated, allowing players to more easily write to their friends and groups. Now they will appear by separate PS5 and PS4 titles, in case you have the same title on both platforms; as well as the possibility of resuming and pausing the Screen Reader from the command.
Compatibility improvements

Also, if your headphones are compatible with the Pulse 3D function, you can take advantage of the sound equalization options to adapt them to your liking. Of course, the M.2 SSD storage support, of which Sony has already detailed the requirements to be able to work on PS5.

One of the most interesting improvements is the inclusion of a resolution selector in PS Now, which will now allow us to select between 720p and 1080p. There will also be a new way to track our trophies, and will allow us to access them in a simpler way from the Control Center. On the other hand, the console will automatically record clips when players break any records. Finally, players will be able to reward other players with the “Leader” award, and it will be visible in their profiles.
