PlayStation reveals official Xbox Elite Controller-esque ‘DualSense Edge’ gamepad

PlayStation has unveiled a brand-new high-performance DualSense controller for the PlayStation 5, the DualSense Edge.

The company made the reveal during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022 in Germany. No other details were revealed beyond an official image of the gamepad, although its mere existence is no doubt exciting for fans. For the past several years, Xbox has offered a premium ‘Elite’ controller, which has been well-received for offering a slew of perks, including adjustable-tension thumbsticks, shorter hair trigger locks and wrap-around rubberized grips.

It’s unclear which of these features, if any, the DualSense Edge will offer. Sony also did not confirm pricing or release timing. In any case, this is finally an official Elite-esque offering from PlayStation, as the only options prior to this have been from third-party companies like Scuf.
