A red light on your PS4 controller usually means it's running low on battery and needs to be charged. Time to plug it in!
A red light is often a signal for a low battery. Charge that baby up!
It could be in multiplayer mode where players are assigned different colors. Player 2 is often red, so maybe you just joined a game!
Sometimes, certain games can change the controller light to red for specific in-game events or alerts. Pretty cool feature, huh?
