Catch up on the biggest PlayStation news this July—real-time features in beta, free PS Plus games, limited-edition gear, and sleek design updates that every US fan will love.

🔧 DualSense Multi-Device Pairing & Power Saver in PS5 Beta

Sony is rolling out a beta PS5 firmware (July 24) that debuts two standout features:

1. DualSense Pairing with 4 Devices 📱💻

You can now pair your DualSense (or Edge) controller with up to four devices simultaneously—think PS5, PC, Mac, phone, or even Vision Pro.

Leave behind the constant re-pairing routine—switch devices instantly using PS + face button combos .

Developed for cross-device convenience, this is a game-changer for remote play or mobile gaming.

2. Power Saver Mode 🌱

A new Power Saver setting, coming later, lets compatible games reduce performance to save energy—perfect for eco-conscious users or rumored handheld PS5 devices .

Sony continues its “Road to Zero” climate initiative, scaling down power usage when high frame rates or VR aren't necessary .

For July, PS Plus Essential subscribers get these major titles—available until August 4:

Diablo 4: A dark-fantasy ARPG from Blizzard. Known for deep co-op and stylish loot hunts .
