PlayStation 5 (PS5) owners are uncovering some hidden features of the DualSense controller that they may not be aware of. Trending In The News has highlighted three often-overlooked hacks that gamers should know about.
Super-Mute: A simple trick to quickly mute your PS5
One of the most useful tricks that many gamers may not know about is the "super-mute" feature. By pressing the LED bar below the PS Button, players can mute their DualSense controller. But what some may not realize is that if you hold down this button, it will mute the entire PS5 system. This is a convenient way to quickly mute the console without needing to reach for the remote control. To unmute the PS5, simply hold down the button again.
Haptics and vibrations: Customizing your gaming experience
The DualSense controller is known for its impressive haptic feedback and vibrations that enhance the gaming experience. However, there may be times when you want to turn these features off or reduce their intensity. Not only can it drain the controller's battery life more quickly, but it can also be distracting or even hindering in competitive games. To adjust the vibration intensity and trigger effect intensity, go to Control Centre > Accessories > DualSense Wireless Controller > Controller Settings.
Phone fun: Using your DualSense controller with other devices
While most of your DualSense controller time may be spent playing PS5 games, don't forget that you can also connect it to other devices. One great way to take advantage of this is by connecting it to your iPhone or Android phone. By doing so, you can play smartphone games using your PS5 controller, such as Call of Duty Mobile.
