If you're having trouble pairing your PS5 controller, check that your controller is charged and within range of the console. Press and hold the Create button and the PS button simultaneously until the light bar begins to flash, indicating it's in pairing mode. Then, go to the PS5 Settings, select Accessories, and choose Bluetooth Accessories to complete the pairing. If this doesn't work, reset your controller by pushing the reset button on the back with a pin, then attempt to pair again.
