I can see more and more people from various community posting they are gaining access to the new Material You redesign of Play Store, so it seems to be a mass rollout I guess,
Personally, I haven't got it yet so I can't telll whether is it a complete redesign or not which earlier it is just a half-baked product. It is rolling out through server side as you may know, and the image attached are respectively from Android 11 and another from Android 12 with Dynamic Colors.
Stay tuned for it coming to your devices in the next few hours or days, or probably it already there. Also Play Store web version is set to get major redesign, hope it get a massive rollout as soon as possible so we can check out with it.

Google Camera 8.4 add support for recording audio on different devices
To get the best audio quality while recording video, Google added support for recording audio with other devices on Google Camera 8.4.
This feature allows you to use your Pixel Bud for example, to capture the audio while recording video with your phone. It probably also support other devices to capture the audio too.
It is a very welcome addition so that your sound won't feel grainy when recording from a distance. For example, you are going for a tour around a city that crowded and recording video with your phone, there a lot of background noise but with the ability to capture audio right with other devices, you can now capture better audio quality.
