All you PlayStation 5 players can now pair your wireless DualSense controllers with up to four devices at a time and toggle between them.
For some time, you’ve been able to pair your DualSense controllers not just with PS5s and other PlayStation consoles, but also with PCs, Macs, smartphones and other Bluetooth devices. But that pairing could happen with only one device at a time; using a different device with a DualSense required pairing all over again.
That changes now, with system update 25.05-12.00.00.
To enable the feature (which has been available to beta testers since June), hold the PS button for 5 seconds and then hold one of the action buttons until the light bar and player indicator flash twice. Once pairing is done on the other device, the light bar and player indicator light should blink in one of four slots.
After that, switching between paired devices happens when you hold the PS button and the action button that was assigned for 3 seconds. The player indicator light (1-4) should flash according to which device pairing has been activated. (For more detailed instructions, click here.)
The PS5 system update also brings another new feature: Some games will support power saving, which reduces power consumption by scaling back game performance. You can enable or disable that for specific games by going to Settings > System > Power Saving > Use Power Saver.
In addition, Sony says, the update improves messages and usability on some system screens, as well as software performance and stability.
