PlayStation is launching a new PlayStation 5 controller called the DualSense Edge. It's scheduled to launch on January 26, 2023, worldwide and will feature a host of additional features that the original DualSense controller does not have.
Notably, the wireless controller will include a variety of personalization options, including the ability to remap buttons, swap between unique profiles and adjust stick sensitivity and triggers, and will feature an on-controller interface. It will also include the same features the DualSense controller has, like adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.
There are additional physical customizations the DualSense Edge will allow for as well, as it comes with three sets of stick caps and two sets of back buttons to swap out. It also comes with a carrying case, a braided USB cable, and a few other goodies to round out the package, which will cost $199.99 to purchase.
The DualSense Edge controller will likely sell out when it becomes available, so you'll want to preorder it when it goes live on October 25. Here's how to preorder the DualSense Edge controller through PlayStation Direct.
How to Preorder the PlayStation DualSense Edge Controller at PlayStation Direct
PlayStation DualSense Edge Controller preorders officially kick off on Tuesday, October 25. They will be available as supplies last across the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. There's no word on whether the controller will be restocked soon after the first round becomes available and sells out, so it'll be important to lock in your purchase as soon as possible.
To preorder the controller, you'll need to keep an eye out on PlayStation Direct to watch for a link to purchase. There is no proposed time for preorders to become available just yet. Your best bet will be to have your method of payment ready or saved to your PlayStation account so you can pay as soon as possible and reserve the controller in your cart.
Like PlayStation 5 systems, these types of peripherals will be difficult to get or not available at all outside of PlayStation Direct for a period of time, so you'll need to pounce if you want to be one of the first to get one of these new controllers. They'll come with a variety of niceties that any PlayStation 5 owner will likely want to take advantage of, and the controller itself looks to be a hefty, high-quality option as well.
What to do if you miss out? Play the waiting game, for now. You'll start seeing DualSense Edge controllers at other retailers beginning February 23, 2023.
