Introduced by Sony with the PlayStation 5 DualSense game controllerWith features such as adaptive triggers and haptic feedback support, it provides an enjoyable and realistic gaming experience to both console and computer users.
You can connect it directly to a Windows and macOS computer via USB-C port or Bluetooth. After connecting, you can take full advantage of all the features of the controller, provided that the game also supports it. However, DualSense does not satisfy computer users in terms of update support.
PlayStation VR 2 release date delayed!
An important information has come about the release date of PlayStation VR2, the highly anticipated virtual reality glasses that Sony introduced at CES 2022.
DualSense will be able to update on computer without PS5
The biggest reason for this dissatisfaction is that software updates cannot be made directly on the computer. You can only install an update released by Sony for DualSense with PlayStation 5. This is a problem for users who just bought the controller and don’t have a PS5.
Sony has not officially announced that it will enable DualSense to be updated on Windows and Mac. However, a deleted user license agreement on the company’s website mentions the development of an Updater application for DualSense, and the good news is: This application will be used on PC.
Thanks to the application, the controller can be updated directly on the computer and the PS5 is not needed. In other words, Sony will make DualSense completely independent for PC users. This also means that the company will further expand DualSense’s compatibility with Windows and Mac devices in the future.
Of course, the only thing that the players want is not to update DualSense on the computer. A limited number of PC game controllers are currently supported, and the number is expected to increase. In the meantime, you can go to Settings > Accessories > Controllers to check if DualSense is up to date.
