How to pair multiple devices with DualSense? The new feature is finally here!

Ersin Kılıç / One of the best aspects of the new-generation systems is undoubtedly the DualSense controller. While haptic feedback and adaptive triggers allow us to achieve vastly different gaming experiences, one of the controller's biggest problems is finally being addressed.

Until now, you had to re-pair the DualSense every time you wanted to connect it to a different device. So, you had to re-pair the controller you normally use with your PS5 every time you wanted to use it on a PC, phone , tablet, or any other supported device. Sony 's new update eliminates this problem entirely.

DUALSENSE MULTI-DEVICE PAIRING

With the new update, using the DualSense on different devices and switching between them has become much easier. To do this, you first need to update the DualSense. Then, here's what you need to do:

With DualSense turned off, press and hold the PS button + an action key (triangle, square, circle, cross) for more than five seconds.

-The light bar and touchpad LED will begin to flash twice.

-Then connect the controller to the device you want to pair with via the Bluetooth settings.

-You can use four different slots by connecting each action button to a different device.

The new pairing feature lets you use your controller on up to four different devices. This means you can quickly switch between PS5 and the DualSense on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or tvOS with a single button combination.

Another new feature in the new update is a power-saving option called Power Saver. This mode reduces the console's power consumption by throttling performance in supported games. Among the first games to be supported are Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Demon's Souls, and Ghost of Yōtei.

Sony emphasizes that this mode will be optional, meaning there will be no performance hit while it's disabled. However, it will be a nice alternative for gamers who want an environmentally friendly option.
