If you're finding your PS5 DualSense controller isn't lasting as long as it used to, there's a simple setting you can change that should help.
In theory, your PS5 controller should technically last for 12 solid hours on one charge, but we all know that's not the case. Regular updates means the controller has more going on behind the scenes, so your battery might drain a lot faster than you like it to. But as shared by YouTuber John Glasscock, it turns out there's a simple setting you can change to do with the controller's microphone that should make it last a lot longer.
The default setting on your PS5 for the DualSense's microphone is to be on, but you can head into the system settings for it to be automatically muted when you log into your console. Simply head to the sound settings on your PS5, select microphone, and change the setting titled "microphone status when logged in" to mute. As noted by Glasscock, this is probably the biggest thing that's draining your DualSense's battery life, though there are other ways to extend it as well.
