A future PS4 update will let you turn down the brightness on your controller’s lightbar

Sony Computer Entertainment President of Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida took to Twitter today to correct good ol’ Geoff “Doritos and Mountain Dew” Keighley after the Spike TV host incorrectly stated an upcoming PS4 update will let users turn off controller lightbars.

Turns out, the update will actually let gamers down turn the intensity of the lightbar, not turn it off altogether.

Here’s the Twitter exchange:

We love Yoshida-san’s style. Blunt. To the point. Powerful.

Hopefully, this functionality is included alongside HDCP support in the soon-to-be-released PS4 update 1.7.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
