Sony has updated the PS5, allowing users to run select games in Power Saving mode, as well as pair DualSense controllers with multiple devices.
Sony started beta testing these features back in July, but they are now being rolled out today in the latest update (version 25.06-12.00.00). Using the PS button and one of the four action buttons (circle, cross, square, or triangle), users can assign a specific Bluetooth device to each action button. According to a blog post made by Sony yesterday, slot one will be the triangle button, slot two will be the circle button, slot three will be the cross button, and slot four will be the square button.
Sony gave a few examples of what devices the DualSense could connect to, which include a mobile device (an iPhone was used as the example), a Windows PC, and the PS5/PS5 Pro.
The new Power Saver mode will reduce the power consumption of the PS5 console in exchange for a minor setback in terms of game performance, according to the system’s update notes. The new power saving mode can be toggled on or off (depending on preference) by heading to Settings > System > Power Saving > Use Power Saver.
According to Sony, when the feature is enabled, an icon will appear next to the supported game in Switcher or the control centre. The previously mentioned blog post reveals that future updates to games like Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Demon’s Souls, and Ghost of Yotei will add support for the new Power Saver feature.
