It took me some time to figure out, how it works on a PS5, but I kind of got used to it by now.
Open the container, have your inventory shown with R1 (if it isn't allready showing), hold square to start multi-selection, select with x the items, press triangle to move it from one side to the other.
Thank you but we know how the new multi-select works. The problem is that it sucks and is objectively worse than the original method as it adds additional steps to the process and causes a delay each and every time you want to go into multi-select mode. For some of us that means we're having to wait on the delay multiple times in the span of 30 seconds. It is incredibly annoying. By the time I can enter multiselect mode in the current method I could have had five or six items already selected in the original method.
It was a stupid UI choice made by someone that very clearly doesn't use a controller to play. They made a tedious process more tedious for no reason whatsoever. And if there is a reason, they refuse to state what it is. All they said in the release notes is "Improved the behaviour of multiselect in the Character Sheet and in containers on controller." That is a false statement and complete bullshit. It's worse. For some of us, it makes the game unplayable as we've sunk hundreds and hundreds of hours into the game, are used to an instant multiselect process, and all this does is piss us off when we play. I play games to escape, not be pissed off at stupid design choices, and all this does is ruin the experience for some of us.
