Best cheap PS5 DualSense controller deals - FAQs
What’s new about the PS5 DualSense controller?
A new console needs a new gamepad, and the PS5 DualSense controller has come to take up the mantle from the DualShock 4. The softer, curvier design of the DualSense makes the controller far more comfortable, and though there’s a little more weight with all the intelligent haptic feedback packed in here, long sessions with those new grips are far less painful. Plus, you also get adaptive triggers, which developers can program to create resistance effects.
Is the DualSense PS5 controller worth it?
The DualSense PS5 controller is needed to play PS5 games on the new console, however, you can get away with a DualShock 4 for certain PS4 games as well. You automatically receive a controller with your new console, so is the price of a DualSense worth it if you’re considering picking up a second gamepad?
If you want to play PS5 games with local co-op play, then we say it absolutely is worth the cost. It’s the only way you’re able to get more people in on the action. If, however, you don’t have your eye on any new local multiplayer experiences right now – and would prefer to keep your PS4 library alive a little longer thanks to backwards compatibility – maybe don’t lock away the DualShock 4 just yet.
What games are best to play with a DualSense?
More and more third-party games are incorporating DualSense features and functionality into their gameplay, be it stiffer triggers for weapons, or changes in vibration and haptics. Big games likeAssassin’s Creedentries or third-person shooters likeSpace Marine 2are offering and incorporating DualSense tech.
However, as of September 2024, there’s only one game that really can be recommended for being the best with the DualSense:Astro Bot. Much like its PS5-pre-loaded predecessor,Astro’s Playroom, Team Asobi’sAstro Botmakes masterful use of the DualSense and the controller’s features bring the action to rich, vivid life. This is the best DualSense game going.
