Sony just released a firmware flashing tool for the PS5 controller. Let's get it working on Linux.

Sony's doubling down on their commitment to PC gaming and now they've released their official DualSense Firmware Update Tool. (Link below). As of right now it's only available for Windows, but we've got it working on Linux through Proton!

Thanks to Linux Gaming Central for their excellent walk-through guide, though I did end up diverging from their tutorial in this video! https://linuxgamingcentral.com/posts/how-to-update-dualsense-firmware-on-linux/
