A Potential Upgrade to the PlayStation 5 DualSense Controller
A DualSense Edge is pictured against a clean, white backdrop. The image, courtesy of Sony, hints at something exciting for PlayStation 5 users. If you're frustrated by your DualSense controller's short-lived battery life, lasting only three to six hours, Sony might have a solution on the horizon. According to a Canadian store listing, a new version of the PlayStation 5 controller could potentially double the battery life.
Video: The Increasing Game Backlog Thanks to PS Plus
PS Plus continues to expand our game backlog, making it even bigger. For those interested, the video discussing this can be found and shared on various platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Email, Reddit, and through direct link. The video titled, "Thank You, PS Plus, For Making My Backlog Even Bigger," discusses this in more detail.
Recent Gaming News
For those interested in other gaming news, two recent highlights include the fun, vampire-punching game Evil West released on June 29, 2022, and the best reveals from The Game Awards 2023 on December 11, 2023.
The Upcoming DualSense “V2” Controller
On January 11, Best Buy Canada posted listings for a C$89.99 DualSense “V2” controller. The controller seems to have the same features as the standard DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, a headphone jack, and touchpad. However, it also includes a charging station with “click-in charging,” and boasts a 12-hour battery life, a significant improvement from the original's six hours. The price appears higher due to the Canadian exchange rate, with the DualSense V2 likely to match the original's $69.99 price in the US.
Comparing the DualSense V2 to previous models
Despite the improved battery life, the DualSense V2 seems like a modest upgrade compared to last year's modular DualSense Edge, which retails at $200. For the same price, you could purchase a PlayStation Portal, a handheld gaming device that may look odd but feels great in your hands.
Words of Caution
No matter which PlayStation 5 controller you use, it's important to remember not to use it to drive a car. Sony has been experimenting with this concept, but given the inherent dangers of driving, it might be best to leave car interfaces as they are.
