There is no official release date for the DualSense Edge controller exclusive for the Sony PlayStation 5. Nonetheless, Sony has been generous enough in letting us in on the features we can expect from the DualSense Edge. It looks like this controller will be the pro version of the DualSense as it will include a ton of features that aim to improve your overall gaming experience. As we take a closer look at the features of the DualSense Edge, which Sony PlayStation 5 games are best played with this upcoming controller?
The DualSense Edge is expected to rival the Xbox Elite controller series with all of its features. Along with the release date, Sony has been mum about how much the controller will cost for interested gamers. From its name alone, it looks like gamers will definitely have the edge over others if they have the DualSense Edge in their hands.
Best games to play with the Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense Edge
It might take a while before we get our hands on an actual DualSense Edge controller. However, the features unveiled by Sony already give us a few ideas about which games are best played with the upcoming controller. Check out the list below as well as the reasons why you should play these titles with the DualSense Edge.
1. Fighting games like Tekken and Street Fighter
The controller will have customizable control options, according to Sony. Every button you can use on the DualSense Edge can be customized and remapped according to your preference. This feature also allows players to completely deactivate a button from being used if it isn’t significant in the game.
This comes in handy for gamers who like fighting games such as Tekken and Street Fighter. Gone are the days when you’ll throw a whole round or game away just because you accidentally hit a button and messed up your combo. Neat, right?
2. Gran Turismo and other similar titles
You’ll also have the upper hand when it comes to racing games like Gran Turismo. By using the DualSense Edge, you can easily adjust the dead zone on your triggers and set it to a minimum. This will ensure that you’re the fastest one on the track and with the DualSense Edge, you’ll outrun your opponents in the blink of an eye.
We’d like to think that the controller will also be great on other racing simulation games like Gran Turismo.
3. Call of Duty games
Since the DualSense Edge controller will have more customization features, it’s perfect for games like Call of Duty. This has also been highlighted by Sony since you can adjust your controller’s sensitivity, dead zone, and even the travel distance on your triggers and sticks. Perfect for getting that W every time you drop in on a match in Warzone!

Unlike in Gran Turismo, you’ll want to increase the dead zone on your DualSense Edge controller. By doing so, you’ll be able to avoid misfiring your guns as you try and outlast everyone else on the battlefield.
4. Action-adventure games like Horizon Forbidden West
Don’t get us wrong, the current DualSense controllers are definitely a step up from the DualShock controllers we used with the PS4. The current-gen’s controller was able to display its full potential with games like Horizon Forbidden West since drawing your bow felt more realistic.
We think that the DualSense Edge will make this experience better if you manage to get your hands on one when it drops.
Features of the Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense Edge
As we wait for Sony to officially release this controller, they already gave us an idea of what to expect. Here are the official features of the DualSense Edge we can enjoy once it comes out:
- Players will have the ability to change the sticks on their controllers according to their preferences
- As we mentioned, you can customize the key/button mapping of your DualSense Edge depending on your playstyle. You can also create controller profiles with specific mappings for a certain game. In case you want to use a certain mapping on one game and a different one on another, you can easily switch with the Fn button
- There will also be back buttons on the DualSense Edge. According to Sony, you can customize this however you want
- The Fn button also lets you do other things like quickly changing your setup even while you’re in-game
