When playing video games, a fully charged controller is essential to ensure an uninterrupted gaming experience. The PlayStation 4 (PS4) controller, like most wireless controllers, requires charging to function optimally. Several indicators can help you determine if your PS4 controller is charging.
The most evident indication is the light bar on the controller’s front. When the controller is connected to a charging source, such as a USB port or a charging station, the light bar will turn orange. As the controller charges, the light bar will gradually fill up, indicating the charging progress. Once fully charged, the light bar will turn solid white.
