Boost PS5 Controller Battery Life with Sony’s Latest Update: Improved Protection
PlayStation 5 Update Brings Adaptive Charging, Welcome Hub, and More
The latest PlayStation 5 system update has dropped, and it’s packed with exciting new features that will enhance your gaming experience. One of the most notable additions is adaptive controller charging, which is designed to monitor and adjust power supply to your controllers for optimal battery life.
Adaptive Charging: The Lowdown
This feature is only available on the PS5 Slim and upcoming PS5 Pro, and it will work with a range of controllers, including the DualSense, DualSense Edge, and PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers, as well as the Access adaptive controller kit. When a controller is connected to the console’s USB port, the adaptive charging system will adjust power supply based on the controller’s current battery levels, helping to save power and extend battery life.
Welcome Hub: Customize Your Home Screen
Another exciting new feature is the Welcome hub, a reimagined version of the Explore tab that was previously only available in the US. This new hub allows you to customize your home screen widgets to monitor important information, such as console storage, accessory battery levels, and friends lists. The Welcome hub will be available to "select players" in the US starting today, before rolling out globally in the coming weeks.
More Updates and Features
In addition to adaptive charging and the Welcome hub, the latest PS5 update also includes a range of other new features. These include the ability to create personalized 3D audio profiles for your headphones or earbuds, and adjustable Remote Play settings to help manage access permissions per individual user.
Party Voice Chat Invitations: Share the Love
Finally, Sony is expanding party voice chat invitations, allowing users to share links across messaging and social media apps. This will enable users to chat with players who aren’t on their friends lists, making it easier to connect with fellow gamers. This feature will roll out in the coming weeks, alongside a PlayStation App update that will enable users to share party links from mobile devices.
Get Ready to Level Up Your PS5 Experience
The latest PS5 update is all about enhancing your gaming experience, from adaptive controller charging to the Welcome hub and beyond. Whether you’re a casual gamer or a hardcore enthusiast, there’s something for everyone in this latest update. So what are you waiting for?
