How to Connect PS5 Controller to PS5 for First Time & More! (Fast Method!) 

It literally won’t connect my controller even when plugged in wtf

I must have watched 5 or 6 different videos to fix my problem and *none* of them worked. I bought a new controller but after I charged it and pressed the PS button, it just flashed blue for about 3 seconds, then would turn off. So *THANK YOU* for having that crucial step of going into your settings and enabling the newly connected controller. Works fine now!! 😁

The problem I’m having is I have the cable connected and it’s charging but it ain’t working

I tried for 30 min everything I could find on the internet to try and get my controller to connect I was using a usb to usb c cord as soon as I used the original usb c to usb c it connected and worked so if anyone that is also struggling and nothing else is working make sure your using the cord that came with your ps5 ! It worked for me atleast

I kinda got scared for a sec but you fixed it thank you so much

Hey thanks so much I been tryna get my ps 5 remotes to connect for about a month now

I have not seen this documented anywhere although it could easily be. I have an Insignia firestick 4k TV as well as a brand new PS5. However I was having issues with the PS5 controller either not pairing with the PS5 on start up or rapidly losing its pairing shortly thereafter. Needless to say it caused me a lot of grief. The issue had to do with the sequence of powering up. If the TV was on prior to firing up the PS5, the problem occur. However if the TV was off before the PS5 was powered up there was no issue. The issue has to do with the PS5 recognizing the firestick remote as a controller (and in fact the PS5 gives the firestick remote limited control, which was wierd) The problem is easily resolved by ensuring that the TV is off before starting the PS5. The PS5 as it cycles up will automatically start the TV and switch the TV to the appropriate input setting. Problem solved. I suspect this is not a unique problem to my system Hope this helps

I am trying to remember which one of the 100s of your "How to connect your Ps5 Controller" helped me. I think this one is it.

Didn’t work

This still didn’t help me smh

What if I only have one controller, and also lost the original charging cord that came with it? I have another but it doesn't work

This doesn’t explain if you already have a controller that is hooked up and you trying to swap it out for another one because this one is dying, so what do you do in the situation?

How do I connect one with out a cable or a controller

I’ve got my cable in my PS5 controller and PS and it still doesn’t connect my controller

When I hold the playstation button and the left top button it just gives me a screenshot or either sends me back to front

Thank you so much I was about to buy a new controller because I connected my controller to my phone and it wold not turn on.

Thanks I've just been just been getting a second ps5 controller for my ps5, and I'd forgotten how to connect it works perfectly 4:08

THANK YOU SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOS MUCH THIS IS SOOOOO HELPFUL

And make sure you get up-to-date system software

what do i do i have a 3m cable and i dont need it that long what is a good way to prevent it being damaged while wrapped up

Please could you to a video if the ps5 controller can charge with the phone charger o does ps5 controllers need to charge please because now that I know how to play wireless I want to know. Thank you

What happen it does not open when we kept the controller in the charger

I cant use my first controller so im trying to connect my second one how do i do it?

I tried connecting a PS5 controller and it’s saying to connect it through usb and update it. I have it connected through USB but it won’t update

Wat if it’s plugged up and blinking but still won’t connect?

Thank you so dang much you literally saved me from wanting to throw my whole controller out the window you’ve earned a liked and subscribed for me and my friend

does it have to be that cord from the box? cuz ion have it anymore and it won’t connect wireless or if it does have a different cord

I got a new one and it’s not connecting

I tried connecting with a dual charger lead and it wouldn't update. Has to be the Sony original usb it seems

With my new controller it just blinks when I turn it on even tho it’s plugged in and then turns off can someone help me pls

It won't turn on like I'm pressing the ps5 button and I have the charger connected and it's not doing anything when I push the button

So ps5 can add ps4 controllers via Bluetooth? Also if I log in to a ps5 with my ps4 account will it give me all my games I own digital? Hope you get what I mean. I. Wondering if a PS5 is worth getting. I own a ps4

This does not work my controller is still blinking bro it’s been connected to my ps5 before I used it to play cod mobile and ever since it’s don’t work it jus blinks when I try turning it on or when I plug the charger in it from my PlayStation I try to turn it on it still jus BLINKS this helped none idk bout anyone else

For those of you that are trying to connect your controller after using it on a phone all you have to do it push the PS button and the right menu button (it’s the one with 3 horizontal lines) at the same time

Chanting did not work so I used your video and it worked.

Might be a dumb question but can I connect my guilikit zen pro to the ps5?

THANKS SO MUCH!! I THOUGHT MY CONTROLLER WAS BROKEN BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T CONNECT. THEN I TRIED USING THE BUELTHOOTH METHOD AND IT CONNECTED. I SUBBED.

OMG thanks just got a second controller and the wire wouldn't connect it

Hi, i dont know if u will respond to this but ive lost the usb and i dont know what to do. Is there anything i can do?

Thanks you much for the help 😜😜

Hi, I just wanna ask. If I buy another brand new controller.. It means that will be my second controller. Do I need to use the same step as the first controller? Means the second controller also using the cable, and update the software controller to be used.

0:23 My PS5 didn't come with this cable, wtf?

Thank you bro really helps your video 🎉

Okay so I disconnected my only controller to my ps5, to connect it to my phone. I’m stuck on the “press the ps button on your controller”. I can’t connect it with my cord, it shows up yellow but won’t connect to my ps5. It keeps turning back off. What do I do?

Thanks bro

how to do two ps5 controllers

great video mate

Thank you so much

Came home with a brand new controller (previous Left stick didn’t work), my usb charger wasn’t working so I couldn’t connect. Thankfully, the previous remote was registered and your video helped me BIG time . Thank you so much !

Thanks

YAY THIS WORKED!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!😆😆😆

Thanks man, the second part of the video was definitely clutch! 🙏🏾💪🏾

Thanks so much dude!

YOURE A KING

YOU THE BEST

Keep in mind, if you disconnect your controller for any reason you can’t reconnect the same controller via the accessories screen. You gotta reconnect it with the cord. 🤣 Another reason why Xbox is better. It has a physical pairing button on the console. 🤣😭🤣

It’s still not working for me

Bro you are a life saver

After connecting it to my pc I cannot get it to connect to my ps5 😡

Thanks you for help me 🤗

Thanks man 🙏

thankyou just subscribed to your channel

Legend

THANK YOU!

Thank you

Thx

Mines broken my charger

Ps4 controller you mean on the title?

See I broke my first PS5 controller so it doesn't work, and I bought a second controller and trying to figure out how to connect it since it's now the only one I have

if you don't have a second controller you can use this app called ps5/ps4 remote play and do the second method and it will be on your ps5 or ps4 (pin this)

I forgot my ps5 controller from my ps5 and I only have one controller

Thanks bro 😂

Thank u!!!

Thank you❤

Didn’t help. I can only use one at a time still.

Omg thank you

Cheers mate
