Resetting your PS4 controller will frequently fix any glitchy behaviour or connection difficulties you may be experiencing. We’ll lead you through both soft and hard resets in this step-by-step tutorial, giving you back control over your gaming experience.
Reconnecting the Controller to do a Soft Reset
Make use of Bluetooth devices: On your PlayStation dashboard, start by going to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth Devices.
Choose the Inactive Controller: Choose the DualShock 4 controller that isn’t in use (the one without the green dot).
Ignore Device: To uninstall the broken controller, press the Options button on your functional controller and choose Forget Device.
Turn off the PS4: Utilise the functional controller to access Power > Switch off the PS4. Restart the console by connecting the broken controller via USB.
Sign in: On the broken controller, press the PS button to access your PS4.
Hard Reset: Restoring Factory Presets
Compile necessary items: Take out an unfurled paper clip or pin and a Micro-USB cord to do a hard reset.
Switch off the PS4: Make sure your PS4 is off, and unplug it from the internet if necessary.
Find the Reset Button: After flipping the controller, locate the recessed reset button next to the L2 button, and push it for at least six seconds with a paper clip.
Let Go and Turn On: After a brief period of time, release the reset button and insert the Micro-USB cable into the controller.
Pair and Sign In: Hit the PS button. A blue light bar indicates that the controller is paired. Open your PlayStation 4 and log in.
Extra Tips for Troubleshooting
Switch Off and Charge: Make sure your controller is charged if the problem continues. You may set a time restriction in the Quick Menu or turn it off by holding down the PS button for ten seconds.
Wi-Fi router or modem restart for connectivity issues? Try playing without Wi-Fi after turning off your modem and router and hard resetting the controller.
Try Using a Different Device
To determine whether the problem is device-specific, try your controller on a different gadget. To check for issues with wireless connectivity, attach a friend’s controller to your PS4.
