How to pair a DualSense wireless controller with PS5 consoles

1. Make sure that your PS5™ console is on.
2. Connect the controller to your console using the included USB cable.
If your controller is turned off, press the PS button. After the light bar blinks, the player
indicator lights up.
When your controller has enough battery life, you can disconnect the USB cable and use
your controller wirelessly.
Please note, your controller can pair with only one PS5 console at a time. When you want
to use your controller on another console, you'll need to pair it with that console.
You can use up to 4 controllers at the same time. When you press the PS button, a colour
