The PlayStation 5 will soon receive a new update from Sony that will include a number of improvements that users have long been waiting for.
Instead of manually connecting their DualSense controllers to the console initially, players will now have a new method for updating them wirelessly.
Sony Has Announced The Exciting Changes On PlayStation's Blog
The DualSense wireless controllers from Sony can now be updated without being connected to the console, according to a post on the PlyStation site.
Players can still choose to enhance their controller's software using a USB cable if they choose, and Sony advises doing so if they experience issues doing so wirelessly.
Unfortunately, the PlayStation 5 beta program is the only way for users to access this upgrade, according to a report by Game Spot.
Players can register for the program on the PlayStation website, but all PS5 users should soon receive the improvements.
This update is currently accessible in the US, Canada, Japan, the UK, Germany, and France, as was previously announced.
Users of the PS5 now have the ability to connect their Discord accounts to their consoles, enabling them to easily speak with other gamers across numerous platforms.
