Earlier today, Sony rolled out a new PS5 firmware update that introduces a host of new features to system owners such as the Welcome Hub, 3D audio profiles, and even adaptive controller charging. However, the last feature mentioned isn’t available for those who own the original PS5, as Sony has confirmed only the PS5 “slim” and PS5 Pro are the only versions of the console that will support it.
If you’re not familiar what the feature is, it’s essentially charging the controller at max power over a short period, charge it at a lower power over a longer period to reduce strain on the device’s battery. It should reduce power consumption, and make the controller’s device last longer. While this might be a small feature in the grand scheme of things, the PS5 community is not happy about this, as some are speculating this is the start of Sony adding features only accessible to the newer versions of the PS5 in order for players to buy a newer model.
