The PlayStation 5 records voice via DualSense when a trophy is obtained. To find out despite himself was a user on Reddit, helloiamjack, who reviewing the clip noticed a familiar sound while killing a boss in Demon's Souls: his voice.
First time Souls player. I didn't realize that the PS5 records your microphone's audio whenever you get a trophy. Whoops. from PS5
This is not an exclusive feature of the Bluepoint remake, which justifies the exaltations by its deadly nature, but it happens because by default the DualSense has the microphone active and starts picking up the player's voice shortly after a trophy is obtained.
Many users of this discovery have begun to review their clips finding their voice here and there, then providing to free up the space of their console. The function can be disabled via the settings menu of the PS5, so if you don't want to be registered or broadcast your cheers, just go there. Alternatively, you can also press the button on the joypad under the PlayStation logo.
Sony had already spoken out on this issue when it silently announced in the 8.0.0 update that it would record voice during voice chat, later clarifying that it is a player's choice option to monitor and screen for verbal harassment.
“We don't monitor or listen to your conversations with this feature,” Sony's Catherine Jensen said at the time. The privacy issue, however, rightly remains very thorny.
