Why Aren't My Controllers Connecting to My PS5?
First thing to try: reset your PS5 controller. Hold down the small reset button on the back for about 5 seconds, then reconnect it via USB cable to your PS5.

Make sure your controller has enough battery! Sometimes just plugging it in to charge it a bit can solve the problem.
I had the same issue, and it turns out there was a firmware update for the controller itself. Connect your controller with a USB cable and check for updates in the settings menu.
If nothing else works, try restarting your PS5. It sounds basic, but you'd be surprised how often a simple reboot can fix connection issues.
Honestly, sometimes it鈥檚 interference. Make sure other Bluetooth devices aren鈥檛 causing conflicts; turn them off and see if that helps.
