It’s so easy to lose track of time while using PS4 Remote Play with Xbox controller. And it’s so embarrassing to find out that your gamepad battery is low when you are in the middle of the battle. No worries, it won’t happen again, because now you can keep an eye on the battery status in the system tray.

For each gamepad you have, we will add an icon to Windows tray. You can choose the color of your icon in Preferences. If you have several connected gamepads, it won’t be a problem to know who is who. If you think that there are too many icons now, choose which ones we should hide.
