While in the middle of a long gaming session, whether that be playing the latest Call of Duty or delving into the world of Hogwarts Legacy, the last thing you want is the DualSense controller to die.

It's an all too familiar tale for a lot of PS5 players, and an experience that can make gaming fell far less seamless.

I mean, you can always plug in the PS5 controller and game away, but the majority of gamers would argue it's a more enjoyable experience playing wireless.

Well, to help with that there are two simple setting changes you can make to help provide a more enjoyable gaming experience.

And who wouldn't want that?

According to the US Sun, there are some simple ways of boosting your DualSense battery life, and they couldn't be easier to implement.

First, set the controller to automatically switch off when it's not being used. This can be done by heading into Settings, selecting 'System' and then 'Power Saving'.

You can also ensure your mic is muted to stop it from constantly being on in the background and draining your battery.

While these two changes should make a significant difference to your controller's battery life, you can boost it even further with one extra change.

Reducing the intensity of the haptic feedback will also help.

To have your games looking their absolute best, you can also change some settings on your console.

You'll first need to understand whether your TV supports HGiG or not.

Tom's Guide explains that if your TV does support it, it's better to enable HGiG - which stands for HDR Gaming Interest Group - in order to 'get the most accurate tone mapping in games that support the feature'.

According to Tom's Guide, you can leave the setting on and it shouldn't affect other games - ie ones that don't support HGiG.

Once HGiG is enabled, you can then go to 'Adjust HDR'. You'll then need to follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the HDR.
