To find your lost PS4 controller, start by using the PS4’s built-in feature. Go to the ‘Devices’ menu in your PS4 settings and select ‘Adjust Sound and Devices’, then ‘Turn Off Device’. If your controller is within range, this action will trigger it to vibrate, helping you locate it by sound. If that doesn’t work, consider retracing your steps and checking typical spots where it could have been misplaced, like under couches or in between cushions. Also, check if it’s connected to another device by mistake, preventing it from pairing with your console.
