As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a tinge of disappointment upon hearing about Sony’s latest PS5 DualSense controller update. While it’s undeniably impressive that they’ve implemented adaptive charging for the sleeker “slim” PS5 models, leaving out the original version feels like a slap in the face to those who invested early.
Sony has rolled out an impressive new update for PlayStation 5 DualSense controllers, yet not all PlayStation 5 users can utilize this enhancement. Throughout the life of the PS5, Sony consistently delivers new firmware updates to enhance the console’s capabilities and refine various hardware components. These updates frequently influence the DualSense controllers too, as demonstrated by the recent platform update. Regrettably, the latest advancement in the PS5 controller is likely beyond the reach of most users.
Over the past few days, update version 24.06-10.00.00 for the PS5 has been released, introducing adaptive charging capability for DualSense controllers. If you’re unfamiliar with what adaptive charging entails, it signifies that your PS5 console will now only charge controllers when in rest mode, up to the maximum battery capacity of the DualSense controller. Once fully charged, the PS5 console will cease supplying power to the DualSense, thereby conserving energy.
The only caveat with this feature, though, is that it’s solely tied to the “slim” PS5 consoles. Just released at the end of 2023, the latest version of the PS5 is smaller in stature and is designed a bit differently in some key ways. Clearly, one of those changes in its design allows for adaptive controller charging while the base PS5 console does not. Given that the PS5 Slim has only been out for less than a year, this means that most owners of the latest PlayStation console likely won’t be able to use adaptive charging for themselves. Hopefully, though, it will be available in the upcoming PS5 Pro, which launches in November.
