Sony's latest update makes a subtle change to the PS5's trophy list.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

PS5 users can now view all of a games hidden trophies with a single button press, as part of the consoles latest firmware update.

Alongside introducing 1440p support and a slate of new social tools, the new PS5 update includes a few hidden quality-of-life features. While Sony's kept pretty quiet about the changes, YouTuber Mystic marked them all up, and spotted a subtle new feature in the consoles trophy list.

A new toggle lets you reveal all the hidden trophies in a game, making it easier than ever for trophy hunters to track down the achievements theyre missing. Before this update, PS5 users had to reveal each hidden trophy individually, which could eat up a lot of time for the most achievement-intensive titles.

To reveal a games hidden trophies, head over to the Trophies menu and find
the game youre after. Tap the options button on your DualSense Wireless Controller to open a drop-down menu, and toggle the Reveal All option.

Be wary, though. While some hidden trophies pertain to skill challenges or Easter eggs, many are used to conceal major story beats. If youre playing a plot-heavy game and want to avoid all spoilers, you might be best off keeping its hidden trophies covered up.

Plenty of other, minor updates have also been introduced in the new firmware patch. As Mystic delves into in his video, the consoles screen reader capabilities have been improved, its web browser now supports zoom controls, and its easier to view another users profile after accepting their friend request or sending them a message.

More tantalizingly, PSVR 2 Sonys upcoming next-gen virtual reality headset is now mentioned by name in the PS5s Bluetooth settings. Its only a passing name-check, but suggests the headset is still set to release next year during its official launch window .

While all of these changes are minor, let's be thankful Sony isnt removing
any more PS5 features . After Battlefield 2042 flop, EA looks to Halo co-creator for a single-player comeback
