PS5 Releasing New System Update for September 2025

by

Sony announced a new PlayStation 5 system update arriving September 17th. This update adds a helpful feature for the DualSense controller and introduces a new Power Saver option. Sony frequently releases updates to improve the PS5 experience, and this one should be particularly useful for players.

Since its launch in 2020, the PlayStation 5 has been the most popular console of this generation. It’s now sold over 80 million units, significantly more than its main competitor, the Xbox Series X/S, which has sold a little over 32 million.

New PS5 System Update Adds DualSense Wireless Controller Pairing Across Multiple Devices

A recent PlayStation 5 update introduces a convenient new feature: the DualSense controller can now connect to up to four devices without needing to be re-paired each time. Before, players had to pair the controller every time they switched between the PS5, a PC, a phone, or other devices. To pair devices, simply unplug the USB cable, then hold the PS button and any of the face buttons (Cross, Square, Triangle, or Circle) to access the pairing menu. The update also includes a “Power Saver” mode that reduces the PS5’s energy usage by slightly lowering performance. This update will be available for all users starting September 17th. You can check for it by going to Settings > System > System Software > System Software Update and then Settings again, or it may download and install automatically.

Sony has released several helpful updates for the PS5 this year. In April, they added the Audio Focus feature, which lets players emphasize specific sounds in games. Other updates, like the one in July, focused on making the console run more smoothly and reliably.

PlayStation fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks, with potential announcements on the horizon. A reliable source, NateTheHate, suggests Sony might be planning a new PlayStation State of Play event for next week. These events are usually revealed early in the week and take place on either a Wednesday or Thursday, meaning we could see one on September 24th or 25th. The event might showcase games like Insomniac’s *Wolverine*. However, this is just a rumor, so fans should view it as speculation for now.
