The PS5 has been bestowed with yet another concerning issue that some users who bought the console at launch are facing. This latest issue is related to the sleek and shiny DualSense controller for the PS5, which even though takes a fine generational leap with its new set of innovative features, is now being held back by a mysterious root-level issue that doesn’t let it charge when the console is in rest mode.
While the PS5 launch is seemingly bigger and better than that of PS4 back in 2013, it still has its own set of problems to deal with. That includes delayed launches in countries such as India, shortage of supplies, recurring backward compatibility issues, as well as a recent rest mode error that forced the console to brick, thereby requiring users to rebuild the database.
The DualSense controller issue seems to be an entirely different beast. As reported by some users, the controller won’t charge itself in rest mode while using the front USB port. However, this issue is seemingly fixed when some of those users tried to charge the DualSense controller using the PS5’s back USB port. This is not a permanent fix, however, as some users also reported that this temporary adjustment isn’t working out for them. Moreover, Sony has yet to officially address this issue.
Every launch console is plagued with a plethora of problems both minor and major and the PS5 and Xbox Series X launch seems to be no different. The base PS4 had an HDMI port problem, a disk ejecting problem as well as a blue light pulse issue that wouldn’t let the PS4 enter the power-on state. While the DualSense controller can still be charged via the front USB port as well as the back USB port when the console is switched on, it’s still a prominent issue that fans hope Sony will address quickly.
With a never-ending pandemic looming over the world, it’s surprising to see a console launch even happen this year, that too on such a larger scale. While the issues surrounding both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S are still not something that can’t be fixed with a mere software update, it’s still a huge indication of why many users avoid buying consoles at launch.
The PS5 is now available in Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, South Korea, and the US, while the UK and the rest of the world get it on November 19.
