If you don't want to use cables and want to play remotely, you can connect your PS5 controller to your PC via Bluetooth.

To do this, your PC must be equipped with Bluetooth first. If your PC doesn't have built-in Bluetooth, you can add Bluetooth to your PC first with the help of a Bluetooth adapter.

Here's how to connect a PS5 controller to a PC via Bluetooth:

  • First, on Windows 10 or Windows 11, you have to open settings 
  • Then click Add a device
  • Then select Bluetooth 
  • On a PlayStation 5 controller, hold down the PS logo button for three seconds until the controller flashes blue
  • Back on the PC, in the Add a device window, select the controller. Usually, the controller uses the name Wireless Controller 
  • Once you select a controller, your controller will stop flashing with a steady blue light.
  • Then finally click Done

The thing you should pay attention to when using wireless mode is that the controller needs to be charged occasionally, because using this wireless will drain the controller's battery.
