Sony has released a new update for the PS5 DualSense controller today in addition to a system software update for the PS5.
Valve's never-ending tinkering with Steam will soon see support for PlayStation's DualSense and DualShock controllers bought to the fore, their compatibility set to be clearly listed on store and library pages starting this October.
The PlayStation 5's primary controller DualSense has been discounted to £39.99 on multiple retail platforms across the UK.
Nice job
I can tell just from the name 22.02-06.00.00.42-00.00.00.0.0 that it's going to be truly amazing.
Apparently there’s been reports of those still using 2.4ghz on ps5 having issues with interference on controllers making it lose sync.
Probably some stability improvement
It's unfortunate that this update is forced, and not optional such as the previous updates.
I've been purposely neglecting updates for one of my Dualsense controllers (personal reasons) and with this update, you cannot simply bypass or update later. If you do so, the controller is turned off and rendered unusable, upon connection attempt again, you are prompted to update once more in an endless loop.
As opposed to before, you can opt to update later, or simply press the circle button to bypass the update notification. And continue to use the controller.
It's not a huge complaint, however, this is still concerning.
