PS5 update: Controller now masters its one, hard-won, tiny trick.

Gaming behemoth Sony has, after what can only be described as an extended and highly scientific beta phase, released a new firmware update for its venerable PlayStation 5. The most groundbreaking revelation? Your DualSense controller can now, through what we can only assume involved countless sleepless nights in Silicon Valley, recognize the very console it was designed for.

Witnessing this technological leap, one can only ponder the valiant efforts of engineers who finally cracked the enigma of "device A talks to device B when both are made by the same company." Reports suggest that prior to this update, a complex ritual involving incantations and occasional mild percussive maintenance was required. Also included is a new "Power Saver Mode," presumably to offset the immense energy expenditure of processing such a fundamentally intuitive connection. The future is truly here, and it’s… remarkably basic.
