When the PS4 controller's light bar blinks red, it can also sometimes mean it's in need of a firmware update. Connect it to the PS4 and check for updates.

Honestly, could just be a glitch. Restart your PS4 and re-pair the controller. Works for me every time!

It could indicate overheating. If you鈥檝e been gaming for hours, give your controller a break and let it cool down before using it again.

A blinking red light might indicate a problem with the cable or connection. Try a different USB cable to see if it resolves the issue.

Your PS4 controller blinking red usually means the battery is low. Plug it into the console to charge it up!
