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