Were you hoping that this update was going to be Playstation 5 themes for your home page? I hope you didn’t get your hopes up because they still aren’t here. However there are some really cool features dropping tomorrow, (Wed 7/24/25) for Beta Participants.
Now as you may already know, you can pair your Dualsense controller to multiple devices. What is new, is that you can now have it linked to 4 different devices without having to re-synch them back together. Enabling you to have a seamless connection between all devices. Not only can you save 4 devices, but, you can also control Bluetooth devices from your controller now.
By pressing a combination of buttons on your controller you will be able to activate multiple devices. Here is how it works.
- Make sure the light bar and player indicator on your controller is off. If they're turned on, press and hold the PS button until they turn off.
- Press and hold one of the action buttons (triangle, circle, cross, or square) and the PS button for over 5 seconds. The light bar and player indicator flash two times.
- Turn on Bluetooth® on your device, and select the option to add Bluetooth® devices. Your device detects nearby Bluetooth® devices.
- Select your controller from the detected devices. The light bar lights up, and the player indicator's lights blink according to the slot number.
If you wish to switch devices that are registered to the controller, while the controller is turned off, you can press a combination of the following keys to access those devices.
| Slot number | Button used | Player indicator lights | Connected Device (Example)** |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slot 1 | PS button and Triangle button | One light on | PS5 |
| Slot 2 | PS button and Circle button | Two lights on | PS5 Pro |
| Slot 3 | PS button and Cross button | Three lights on | Windows PC |
| Slot 4 | PS button and Square button | Four lights on | iPhone |
This is a great addition to all the features we already have on the Dualsense 5. People with multiple devices should have a way easier time access the things they want to play on whatever device they want to, a whole lot faster.
Energy Saver Mode
This feature won’t be available quite yet, but you can be sure to keep your eye out for this update. There will be a new mode in your settings menu called “Power Saver”. Once it is in use, PS5 games will scale back performance to allow your PS5 to lower its power consumption. This is a completely optional and up to the player as to if they want to use it. This could be beneficial to someone who has a PS Portal or someone who is simply just trying to be more green.
