PlayStation 5 is the people’s champion regarding the current generation of AAA gaming on consoles. The console is unbeatable when it comes to quality, and a vast library of exclusives make it a must-have to enjoy titles likeThe Last of Us Part 1andPart 2 Remastered,Marvel’s Spider-Man 2,Gran Turismo 7,God of War Ragnarok, etc.
The infrastructure and the console’s ecosystem, whether the software or the hardware, are unbeatable. The controller shipped with it, Sony’s DualSense, is the most advanced controller in terms of immersion. It is most certainly the standout compared to its direct rival, Xbox Series X, a console that is more powerful on paper, but falls flat on its face regarding the controller. However, the controller can be adjusted in settings to make it even better.
How to get the most out of your PlayStation 5 controller?
PlayStation 5 is not the most favored console just because of its library, the support from loyal customers who have owned a PlayStation ever since the first one came out, or any other single factor. It is a complete package that sets the standard for home entertainment, so both casual and serious gamers can enjoy the best games available in the industry on the console.
The package also contains the controller, Sony’s magnum opus, the DualSense. The controller offers a variety of additional benefits when compared to the Xbox controller, which is supposed to be getting a refresh in 2024, but, for many reasons, is behind Sony’s.
The Xbox controller does not even contain a rechargeable battery, and one has to spend extra on Microsoft’s play and charge kit to charge the controller during gameplay. While Sony has the upper hand, it is still frustrating when your controller runs out of charge. However, you may make it last even longer if you follow these steps:
Turn on Power Saving and mute the controller microphone
Turning this on will not impact the controller’s performance, but will help you get some extra time by turning it off when it is not in use.you’re able to also mute the controller’s micby following these steps:
Reducing the intensity of the haptic feedback
The haptic feedback on the DualSense is second to none; it is the gold standard in the industry, but frankly, it takes a toll on the controller’s battery life. One can reduce the intensity of the haptic feedback by following the steps below:
Turning on the first setting and turning down the feedback will only make a tiny difference to the experience, but will improve your battery life significantly. This will ensure that your controller doesn’t die just when you are about to get the kill inWarzoneor when you are about to score inEAFC. Regardless, do not go for the DualSense Edge if you want a better battery, as the PlayStation 5’s official pro controller battery is worse.
The latter outputs a meager six hours, and the former beats it with a 2-hour margin in certain games. It was reported recently that a new controller is coming with a 12-hour battery life, going by a DualSense V2, per rumors based on a Best Buy Canada listing. Still, nothing has been officially confirmed so far.
