PlayStation 5

• Consoles: PS5, PS5 Digital, PS5 Slim, PS5 Pro
• Controllers: DualSense, DualSense Edge

Zen Link (recommended)

1. Set up Zen Link with zen-link-setup.
2. Apply the PS5 settings in zen-link-ps5.

Bypass

Only without Zen Link. The bypass does not stay set, so you will have to redo it.

1. On the PS5, open Settings > Accessories > General > Advanced Settings.
2. Make sure Bluetooth is on. If it is off, select Turn On Bluetooth, press Cross and wait for the PS5 to restart.
3. Pair your controller over Bluetooth from Bluetooth Accessories.
4. Set Settings > Accessories > Controller (General) > Communication Method to Use USB Cable and confirm with Cross.
5. Connect the Zen's CONSOLE/PC port to a front USB port on the PS5.
6. If the Zen's screen shows a script or GamePack icon, press the right blue button until the Gearhead logo is displayed.
7. Replug the CONSOLE/PC cable once and check that the Gearhead logo is still the screen shown.
8. Disconnect the Zen from the PS5.
9. Plug the controller into the Zen's A1 port.
10. Open Settings > Accessories > General > Turn Off Accessories and move the D-pad onto your controller. Do not press Cross.
11. Hold D-pad Right, reconnect the CONSOLE/PC cable and keep the button down for about 5 seconds, until the Zen's screen flashes and the Gearhead logo comes back.
12. Release D-pad Right, press Circle to leave the menu and start your game.

The DualSense mic and speaker do not work through the Zen, and a headset in its jack needs the controller on USB (headsets).
