PS5 Update: A Game Changer for Controller Longevity
Sony has launched an exciting update for the PS5, spotlighting features that prioritize controller battery protection. The new adaptive charging function is designed to monitor and adjust power when controllers link to the console's USB ports. This update is rolling out globally today, but features only for the latest PS5 models, including the PS5 Slim and the anticipated $700 PS5 Pro.
Enhanced Features for PS5 Users
- The adaptive charging works seamlessly with PS5 DualSense, DualSense Edge, and PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers.
- Power to USB ports will be minimized if a controller is not linked, conserving energy.
- A new “Welcome hub” allows users to customize their interface, showcasing storage, accessory battery levels, and friends lists.
New features also include personalized 3D audio profiles and adjustable Remote Play settings for each user. The PS5 is making strides to enhance user experience among all models.
Moreover, improving social connectivity, Sony is expanding party voice chat invitations so users can connect with players beyond their friends list. This will be available in coming weeks alongside updates to the PlayStation App.
