Hey folks from County Cork Ireland, been a gaming nutcase since as long as i can remember, (played World of Warcraft for years) and still enjoy it now on PS4 although I'm a retired Paramedic with 22 years of front line duties, the wife still plays stuff like Tomb Raider , I'm now 65 yo and 66 in August, (yeah I shouldn't be doing this at my age eh ? 😆 ) I love the open world games with plenty of room to roam about with plenty of shooting and loads of different weapons etc, I finished Red Dead Redemption 2, ( almost lost it when Arthur died ) most Uncharted games and several others, Mafia 3 arriving tomorrow Amazon van automatically stops outside our place these days, recently got my first wireless controller, had a few problems getting it set up but all sorted now, up and running fine. However, ran into a problem last night when the controller ran out of charge mid game saying controller disconnected, please plug in your PS4 controller, I was just about to save a game and it wouldn't let me click the OK button, so a quick question from an old fart,

1. can you carry on playing whilst charging ?
2. If i get a second controller and keep it fully charged can i swap controllers mid game to avoid last nights disaster and if so how ?
3. can i carry on with the old wired controller ?

Any other info will be much appreciated, please help the elderly !!! 🤣🤣🤣
 
Hello & welcome @Murph, I’m (soon to be) 58 so us older gamers are around.
On occasion I have played my PS5 whist charging, I then purchased another controller & a dual charger so I can charge one while using the other.
I have swapped controller mid-game with the wireless controller so would expect the wired to be the same. You could always test this after saving in an game to see what happens.
 
I'm 62 and love playing FPS games, COD MWII/III look me up if you playes and we can party up!
 
I’m 58 & mainly play survival horror (Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Dark Pictures) CastleVania, a few Assassin’s Creed (Origins, Black Flag mainly).
