Latest PlayStation 5 Update Preps Console for Upcoming DualSense Edge Controller
The customizable controller launches on January 26.
Sony’s new PlayStation 5 update is delivering support for the highly-anticipated DualSense Edge controller. Available to download now, the update arrives less than two weeks ahead of the controller’s scheduled launch on January 26.
The 6.50 patch is 1GB and for the most part, encompasses the typical software improvements improving system performance. According to the patch notes, though, it also features the necessary support for the DualSense Edge.
The pro controller is designed to grant players an elevated, customizable experience. Players can remap their buttons, swap out the caps on the sticks and plug in additional controls via attachable back paddles.
They can also adjust the sensitivity of sticks to best suit the game they’re playing and the intensity of vibration. Each slate of control settings can be set to a user’s profile so that the DualSense Edge will automatically adapt when they login.
Retailing for $200 USD, the DualSense Edge comes with extra dome caps, back buttons, a USB cable, connector housing and a carrying case. Players can download the PS5 update to support their controllers now.
