Sony secretly unveils latest new DualSense controller for the PlayStation 5
Sony unveils new latest DualSense controller for the PlayStation 5
Sony quietly unveiled the next generation game controller for the PlayStation 5 without much of a spectacle. The controller is called DualSense, a departure from the DualShock controller
Sony still hasn’t launched what the PlayStation 5 will look like, but it just unveiled the controller for its next-gen console: the DualSense, which marks the biggest departure for Sony’s controller design in its over 25-year history of PlayStation consoles.
The new controller has some big changes on the inside, and outside too: the previously announced haptic feedback (replacing the old rumble technology in previous controllers) and the new “adaptive triggers” that can adjust the resistance of the triggers for different gameplay effects. There’s also an integrated microphone, a first for Sony’s controllers, along with a (long-overdue) USB-C port. And of course, there’s the new two-tone color scheme (similar in style to the PSVR) and an overhauled design that gives a more circular shape to the grips and face buttons.
The share button has also been changed to a new “create” button, which will offer “new ways for players to create epic gameplay content to share with the world.” Sony promises that additional details will be announced on that front closer to launch.
Some of the buttons on the DualSense are also getting some light tweaks compared to the old DualShock 4 — the PlayStation button, for example, is now cut out in the actual shape of the PS logo, while the triggers have received a more angled design than past Sony controllers.
Other old features from the DualShock 4 will still remain on the DualSense, like the center-mounted touchpad and the light bar. Sony is also sticking with its symmetrical controller layout, with the D-pad and face buttons on the top half of the controller and the matching analog sticks on the bottom.
Further details about the DualSense — like how much additional controllers will cost, or if Sony will be offering more color options — will presumably be announced close to the PlayStation 5’s fall launch. For reference, the DualShock 4 cost $59.99 when it was first released.

The controller opts for an all new co-lour theme and also has some added functionality both inside and outside.
The PlayStation 5 controller will allow ha_pt-ic feedback, which the company claims will be able to create specific feedback for different game-plays. The new h a p tic engine, the company claims will provide greater immersion. The official release claims that the ha_pt_ic feedback “adds a variety of powerful sensations you’ll feel when you play, such as the slow grittiness of driving a car through mud. We also incorporated adaptive triggers into the L 2 and R 2 buttons of Dual-Sense so you can truly feel the tension of your actions, like when drawing a bow to shoot an arrow."

Apart from the new haptic feedback, Dua-lSense will get a built-in mic which can be used for short conversations but the company claims that for longer gaming sessions and conversations, the gamer should opt for a headset.
Sony’s new Dual_Sense will be replacing the ‘Share’ button that was first introduced with Dual Shock 4 controller for a “Create" button. The exact functionality of the button will be revealed later. Sony claims they will be adding to the functionality of the ‘Share’ button and not replace it.
The most obvious change in the new controller is the two-toned Co lour. The controller is mostly white with a dark grey section in between, around the analog stick. The light-bar has also been placed on each side of the touch pad instead of on top of the controller. The angle of the grip has also been changed for enhanced grip.
For now, the controller has been shipped to developers to start making use of the new hardware. The official launch of the gaming console is expected to happen later this year ahead of the holiday season in US.
