Updating your PS5 DualSense Controller will make it more compatible and functional for your PS5 gaming console. But, you need not stress about how you can download and install any pending updates on your DualSense wireless game controller.

Once a new software version is available, your PS5 will automatically send a push notification to inform you of the firmware update. All you have to do is wait for it to notify you.

  • Once you receive a notification of a new update, you can plug in your DualSense controller to your PS5 console using a USB cable to manually update your device’s firmware.
  • Please note that installing updates will not work wirelessly. It will not also work without your PS5 connected.
  • Next, select the Update Now button. If it is not a good time for you, choose the Notify After 24 Hours option.
  • Wait for your PS5 to begin the update process. Note that you should never unplug your controller during the download.
  • Once the process completes, it will return to the home screen. You can unplug your controller and enjoy the updates.

That’s it! Now, you can update your PS5 controller each time a new firmware version is available for download. It only takes a few minutes to wait for the installation process.
