Sony has released a firmware update for the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller that brings compatibility and performance improvements. Console owners have 30 days to sync the controller with the new version before connection issues may arise.

Competitive Jogadores are the most affected by this issue. Sony has not released full technical details, but analysts point out that the fix involves optimizing the Bluetooth synchronization protocol between the control and the platform.
The update also improves gesture recognition on the DualSense touchpad. Títulos like *Astro’s Playroom* and others that use haptic features will work with more accurate response after download.

The update is automatic if the controller is close to the powered console, but manually forcing it ensures the process is complete. Usuários that do not update within 30 days may lose the ability to pair the controller to the system, although Sony indicates that it will be possible to reset and try again.
Funcionalidades added
