Why is my PS5 controller flashing blue?
Your PS5 controller may blink blue if it's having trouble connecting. This can be caused by a hardware issue with the controller itself or the PlayStation 5 console. In most cases, you'll just need to resync the controller to get it working again.
Troubleshooting
Connect your controller via USB. If your PS5 controller keeps rapidly blinking and not connecting, try connecting it to your console with a wired cable. Once connected, press the PS button on your controller to turn it on.
Force the console into sleep mode. Press the power button (not hold) and let go immediately. The console should go into sleep mode. Once the PS5 is in sleep mode, press the PS button on your controller to wake it again.
Force restart your console. If you aren't able to restart your PlayStation 5 with the controller, you can use the physical button in the front. Keep in mind you will lose any unsaved progress on your console. Just press and hold the button until you hear a beep. The PS5 will turn off. To turn it on again, press the power button.
Reset your controller. Locate the small button on the back of your controller. Speach recommends using "a paperclip or another small, pointed object to push the button for 3-5 seconds." Then, release. Press the PS button again.
Let your controller charge. Your controller may have low battery. If it isn't connecting, let it fully charge for about 2 to 4 hours before using it.
Update your wireless controller firmware. You'll need a Windows PC and the Firmware updater app. Download the installation file from the PlayStation website and run the app. You'll need to connect your controller to your PC during this process.
