Technological developments in the industrial era 5.0 are growing rapidly, including software research and development. This affects many aspects of software engineering, including requirements engineering. This study offers a systematic literature review to analyze publications published from 2020 to 2023 in which software system requirements engineering, several methods and implementations are discussed. This study reveals current practices in Requirements Engineering in the context of Industry 5.0 and identifies the use of agile methodologies, model-based engineering and interdisciplinary collaboration as promising trends. 137 initial articles on Scopus discussing software requirements engineering were found and sorted into 53 final articles using the defined keywords. However, challenges stemming from system complexity and lack of standardization are significant problems that need to be addressed. These findings underscore the importance of innovation, data security and an interdisciplinary approach to navigating the dynamics of Industry 5.0.
