5 Annoying PS4 Features that Still Drive Gamers Up the Wall

PS4 Pro, update, beta

The Controller Battery and The Light Bar

dualshock 4, stuff, gamers, say

Sony, Sony, Sony. With one hand, you giveth an inbuilt battery so we don’t need to go and shell out on countless batteries to fuel our habit, or cough up the extra cash for a sold-separately rechargeable battery. As DJ Khaled would say, we appreciate you. But then you go and spoil it all by doing something stupid like not letting us turn the damn light bar off!

Sure, it’s a part of the motion control malarkey required to use the DualShock 4 with PSVR or the PlayStation Camera on its own, but why not just have a setting which turns it on in those instances? Why must we have a permanent luminous glow emanating from our hands like we’re some mage when playing at night? Lowering the brightness from the default Brightest setting helps a little, but a tiny system update could implement the option to disable it. That’s all we’re asking for!

It doesn’t exactly help that the DualShock 4’s battery isn’t the longest-lasting, only making us wonder even more why the massive light on the back of the controller can’t be turned off.
