Sony is rolling out aPlayStation 5system update that allows DualSense controllers to remember up to four paired devices. This quality-of-life improvement was previously teased, and it looks like thePlayStation 5is finally making it a reality, though there’s a small catch.
Back in June,Sony announced an update for the DualSense controllersthat would make pairing with multiple devices easier. As the company previously explained, the philosophy behind DualSense is to give players a seamless gaming experience across different platforms, and this update is being implemented to support that very idea.
How DualSense’s New Multi-Pairing Feature Works
Based on the official description, it seems the newDualSense featurewill work with Windows PCs, Macs, mobile devices, and all other supported platforms. One thing to note is that the user’s main PlayStation console, either the PS5 or PS5 Pro, will take up one of the four memory slots on the controller. So, a more accurate way to put it is that users can add three additional paired devices besides their primary platform.
Connecting andpairing a DualSense controller with other devicesisn’t a complicated process, but it can become a tedious and time-consuming task over time, especially for multi-platform gamers. Sony’s move to make this process a bit easier and more seamless seems like a step in the right direction. It remains to be seen how the community responds to the change and when it will roll out globally.
