Resetting thePS5 controller – here’s how
If your PS5 controller is having trouble connecting to the console or isn’t working properly, resetting it can help. Here’s how to do it:
- Turn off your Playstation 5 before resetting the controller.
- Then press the reset button for three to five seconds. Use a thin object to help you reach the button. This is because it is located in a small hole on the back of the controller.
- To reconnect the controller to the console, you will need a USB cable. Connect the controller to the PS5 and then press the PS button on the controller.
- If the reset does not work this way, it may help to restart the console with a controller connected (via a USB cable).
Update the controller
From time to time, you will need to update your PS5 controller to continue to get the most out of it.
- When you connect the controller to the console, the controller’s software is often updated automatically. To do this, you must connect your controller to the Playstation with a USB cable.
- You will then see on the screen how to proceed.
- Another way to update your PS5 controller is through the Home Screen and Settings.
- Go to Accessories ☻ Controller ☻ Wireless Controller Device Software. Then you can update the software of the controller.
