- The PS5 DualSense can be used on several platforms, but not all at the same time
- Now, a new firmware update allows it to be associated with several devices at the same time
- The controller can switch between four devices with a press button
Sony’s DualSense controller of PlayStation 5 could have been used for mobile phones, computers and almost anything else, but with warning, it must be twinned again to use with your console.
Now, a new firmware update means that you no longer need to go through the fun of the matching each time. You can now have one, not two, but four connections that you can switch.
THE The update was revealed in JulyBut finally strikes controllers around the world today. You will have to connect your pad to update it, but this will allow you to record four devices simultaneously.
You can switch to each other using a combination of one of the four front “action” buttons (triangle, square, cross, circle) and the PlayStation button.
Here’s how Sony explained:
- Make sure that the light bar and the player indicator on your controller are turned off. If they are on, press and hold the PS button until they go out.
- Press and hold one of the action buttons (triangle, circle, cross or square) and the PS button for more than 5 seconds. The light bar and the player indicator flash twice.
- Light Bluetooth on your device and select the option to add Bluetooth® devices. Your device detects nearby Bluetooth devices.
- Select your controller from detected devices. The light bar lights up and the light indicator lights blinked depending on the location number.
Each of the four locations has its own number of “flashes” of the light bar to help discern which device connect.
- Triangle – A light
- Circle – Two lights
- Cross / x – Three lights
- Square – Four lights
So, if you connect to a PC, a phone, a tablet and a PlayStation 5, you now have features to switch to it. Simple and very welcome stuff!
