I'm not sure about consoles; I play on a computer (I use the dsx utility, because there aren't too many games that don't support this gamepad). You can now update the firmware on a personal computer by visiting the official Sony website. In the past, I used the Xbox series controller; however, I find that the dual sense gamepad is not only more user-friendly but also more technologically sophisticated (it has a gyroscope and a touchpad). Pleased with the quality of the product
