New PS5 system update beta includes DualSense wireless controller pairing across multiple devices, finally
- Thread starter HeisenbergFX4
- Start date
I believe some dev went extra miles to get it to work wirelessly.

Oh, even across multiple PS5s? That's cool, even if it should have been there on release.

You can already do that. They are just making it easier to switch between platforms without need to pair it everytime you change a platform. Great feauture for me that uses the dualsense in both my PS5 and PC. I have been using 2 controllers to avoid having to pair it everytime i want to play on PC or PS5, but now ppl with only 1 controller can easy switch.

Got the code, there was a feature update to install, but no Dualsense update. Can't seem to do the multi pair with the PS button and action button. Are regions like Canada still waiting for the update to come along?

I think I got a controller update (mine is always plugged in, if that makes any difference).

I have messed around with the controller options for a few minutes and so far, I feel like an idiot. So, nothing new.
I have Triangle assigned to PS5 - Figured that one out pretty easy.
I have Square assigned to Steam Deck - Figured that one out pretty easy.
I have Cross assigned to PS5 Pro - I selected circle but somehow it is assigned to cross.
Trying to hit the PS button and the corresponding button is just a little tricky. It seemed like I was hitting the PS button too soon and it was turning on the wrong device. Easy fix, I press the face button before pressing the PS button. Works great that way.
I also realize that I need at least one more slot.
I now have to decide between iPad or PC for the 4th slot. I do use the iPad now and then (rarely) to stream PS games but having everything at my desk work off of one controller seems like a better option. (Actually, multiple controllers setup the same because of poor battery life)
This is not an earth-shattering feature but it is pretty nice to have if you use multiple PS5s or multiple devices at the same desk. I just need to figure out why my PS5 Pro decided to assign a completely different slot than the one I chose. The three second delay is a tiny bit annoying but I can live with it if this works without hiccups.
Edit
I figured out what was going on and set three controllers for PS5 Pro, PS5 and Steam Deck. It is pretty much plug-n-play for the PlayStation systems. It was a little confusing since the instructions say to unplug the USB.

- I set up the PS5 Pro first, after the controller update, I plugged in the USB and it defaulted to slot 1.
- I set up the PS5 second, basically the same thing, I powered on the PS5 and when it asked to press the PS button, I plugged in the USB and connected it to a controller. It automatically assigned the controller to slot 2 since slot 1 was taken by the PS5 Pro.
- The Steam Deck was following the instructions in the OP.

Did you go into updates and select the beta update? I had an update to the system when I first booted up. I then went into settings and updated the beta from there. The controller I am testing with updated wirelessly.

There was no other update there but the feature update

Maybe it hasn't rolled out to Canada. When I went into update it had the separate beta update. I think they do this to force you to accept the beta agreement.
I used it, thank you

Can anybody confirm whether you can use the headphone jack now for full audio wirelessly yet? This could make or break me starting a migration from console to PC.

Do you not have to use a wire on PC to get all the Duelsense features? Im using it on Stellar Blade and Silent Hill 2 but I just leave it plugged in.

Wait. People share codes for system update betas now?
How long has that been a thing?

PS4.
Be one of the first players to try out the new PS4™ Party update, as part of the PlayStation® Beta experience. Play, chat and connect with even more friends online, as we're boosting Party sessions from eight to 16 players – this brand-new feature is due to release in System Software Update 7.00.
Performance for system updates is also being improved, meaning your PS4™ won't always need to restart after every update. Going forwards, select system software updates will automatically be installed after download if the [System Software Update Files] setting is switched on, found under:
[Settings] > [System] > [Auto Downloads]
You can be part of this PlayStation® Beta by redeeming the voucher code below. It can be used up to 20 times, if you'd like to share it with friends who you know would be interested in taking part.

Damn thats pretty cool. I knew there were software betas but somehow I missed entirely it was done by code.
Cool way to deploy it.
