It’s no secret that PC gamers often turn to console controllers in order to optimize their gaming experience and also improve their motor skills.

But nobody said that it was mandatory to use Microsoft’s Xbox controllers or other variants made specifically for PCs.

Some opted for Sony’s DualShock PlayStation controllers as their go-to means of interacting with their favorite in-game hero.

Until now, there was no way to efficiently and securely update the DualShock’s firmware from your PC. That’s all about to change though.

Indeed, we are getting to witness the day when we can receive firmware updates for Sony for our PS5 controllers without having to use the console itself.

You’re probably wondering how that’s possible, so we’re about to shed some light on how this came to be in the first place.

This new application, paired with the instructions you might need to correctly download and use it, are all available on the official PlayStation website.

There are, of course, some prerequisites for using PlayStation’s new firmware update app, but the requirements will actually amuse you.
