From PS Blog: "Today, we are thrilled to unveil the DualSense Edge wireless controller for PlayStation 5, the first-ever high-performance, ultra-customizable controller developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Designed to give you an edge in gameplay by allowing you to create custom controls, the DualSense Edge wireless controller invites you to craft your own unique gaming experience tailored to your playstyle."
Beta starts today for invited participants in select countries.
As the new year kicks into high gear with an amazing slate of PS5 game releases like The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Tekken 8 and Helldivers 2, along with FINAL FANTASY VII Rebirth later this month,SIE are pleased to roll out another PS5 system software beta today with a number of quality-of-life enhancements and new features.
Listing for the DualSense V2 spotted over on Best Buy. Featuring improved battery life over its predecessor, the DualSense V2 could become a must-have PS5 accessory for those looking to stay wireless while gaming.
I have the Cobalt Blue controller and it lasts twice as long as my launch white controller did out of the box already.
never had a problem with the battery life or stick drift good to know that they improved it.
I was thinking all it really needs is a battery upgrade and there ya have it. Hall effect sensors would be great too but this is a good upgrade.
I have no problem with battery life, but what I would have liked on this new version would be back buttons/paddles.
Sony seems to be working on a new version of the DualSense that would improve on the PS5 controller with some extremely helpful features.
Pretty awesome. Hopefully they add a bigger battery to boot.
“The button hints would also be spelled out on the controller's touchpad, which would actually double as a display. This is not the first patent indicating that the DualSense 2 might feature a touchscreen instead of a touchpad, as another such IP filing emerged online back in September. As for the concept at hand, the controller that it describes wouldn't just be capable of lighting up its buttons, including its shoulder triggers, but also both of its analog sticks.“
Cool
Hopefully any upgrades and the like are kept for the PS6. If we start wasting things on mid gen consoles then the next gen isn’t as “wow” worthy compared to holding out and seeing a massive difference from something released 8 years ago or something.
Honestly, I would dig a screen on a controller. I always liked the Dreamcast implementation of the VMUS, which could be simulated by something like this. The buttons lighting up could be cool for some accessibility-specific scenarios. Still, for general usage, I can't think of any potential uses that can't be achieved by ordinary buttons.
That said. If they are going to make a new controller, I would love them to invest in more repairability. Modular sticks, easier access to the battery, etc.
count me in.
The best controller just got better
definitely looks great.
Duelsense already my favourite controller ever. Now they have gone and hopefully made it better. I'll deffinetly be getting one providing the price is not to bad. I got a PSVR2 to save up for you know haha.
My pc can then have my current dualsense controller.
Looks pretty awesome. All we need now is a ps5 pro announcement to go with it lol
It's coming.
