It’s perfectly understandable that sometimes you get up and forget to turn off your gaming controllers. It’s also reasonable that you wouldn’t want to go through the process of doing so anyway, especially when you’re in a hurry to get somewhere. That’s where the PlayStation 5’s power-saving options come into play, allowing you to have your DualSense controller turn off automatically after being idle for a selected period of time. Here’s how to make it happen.
