DS5 Bridge v1.5.1 includes all v1.5.0 stability and feedback improvements, plus a hotfix for users who saw Companion firmware required after updating.
Please update both the companion app and Pico firmware.
What's New
- New Host Encoding system for stronger controller audio and haptics.
- Better haptics in supported games, including games that take exclusive control of the controller audio endpoint.
- Improved rumble and haptic handling for more consistent in-game feedback.
- Persistent adaptive trigger effects and new trigger lab profiles.
- Added DualSense Edge remapping.
- Improved reconnect behavior after disconnects, app restarts, and long idle periods.
- Fixed a Windows migration issue where the app could show Companion firmware required after flashing v1.5.0.
Important Update Note
This release changes the USB device/interface layout.
If you run into odd controller, rumble, haptics, audio, duplicate-device, or detection issues after updating, open the companion app, go to the System tab, and use the wrench / Emergency Device Repair tool, then reboot your computer. This release changes the USB device topology, so some Windows installs may need to clear old DS5 Bridge device records before the new companion interface is detected correctly.
