The PS5 has been out since November, but PlayStation players on Reddit are still discovering features that many have overlooked. With the Xbox Series X, Xbox gamers did not have any adjustment period and this is because the Xbox Series X interface is the same as the Xbox One interface and because the Xbox Series X controller is basically the same as the Xbox One controller. For the PS5, Sony not only completely rebuilt the UI on the PS4, but launched a new controller, so different that it violated the company’s DualShock naming convention. In other words, PlayStation gamers are still learning things about the PS5. For example, if you hold down the PS button on the DualSense controller for 10 seconds, it will turn off the controller.
This is not the only DualSense feature that many players have overlooked. Did you know that you can turn off all sounds if you hold down the mute button for a few seconds? If you haven’t done so, don’t worry, many of those on the PS5 Reddit page had no idea about the existence of these features and that’s because the PS5 doesn’t transmit any information.
Of course, it’s very possible that you already know that both functions are handy, but given that the Reddit post that revealed them at the top of the page, it’s safe to assume that most of you reading this didn’t know about any of them. of these shortcuts, just like everyone one of the 400 people who commented on the post.
As always, feel free to leave a comment or two to tell us what you think or, alternatively, hit me on Twitter @Tyler_Fischer_ and let me know there. Did you know about these two DualSense features?
