PlayStation Link, the proprietary wireless connectivity tech that powers Sony’s duo of PS5 headsets, is finally getting a PC driver–almost two years after it launched. The driver is set to roll out between now and October 2, and will allow users to adjust settings and update their devices on PC without having to connect to a PS5.
The new PS Link driver will add a quick menu that’s accessible from the system tray or by pressing the PS Link button three times on the device itself. The menu allows users to adjust audio settings for the Pulse Elite or Pulse Explore, and it shows the battery level and notifies users if a new firmware update is available.
Take full control of your audio experience on PC with Pulse Elite and Explore.

With the driver installed, users can also update firmware for either audio device or for the PS Link dongle directly from the PC. The Elite and Explore will need to be directly connected to the PC via USB cable in order to update firmware.
