Amazon has reduced the price of the PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller to £44.99, bringing it 31% lower than its £64.99 RRP and cheaper than its summer baseline, Trusted Reviews reported.
The price drop cuts £20 off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price and leaves £15 spare compared to the £59.99 Amazon usually charges for the peripheral. Every PlayStation 5 console includes a single controller in the box, making the current £44.99 rate the lowest price available in three months for securing a second unit for couch co-op or as a charged backup.
The controller features haptic feedback and adaptive triggers designed to replicate in-game physical sensations. When testing Astro Bot, the reviewer could feel individual raindrops land on an umbrella alongside gusts of wind pushing back through the hardware. According to Trusted Reviews coverage, the reviewer noticed tension build up during object-pulling sequences in Astro’s Playroom, alongside Devil May Cry 5 where Nero’s sword mimicked the throttle of a small motorbike.
Third-party games incorporate the hardware features outside of Sony’s first-party showcase. With Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, players can shoot a web strand using a gentle trigger pull, whereas applying stronger pressure provides extra force to every traversal swing through Manhattan.
The controller features a solid build with textured thumbsticks designed to maintain grip during intense gameplay. The face buttons are raised above the body with precise travel to suit platformers and fighting games.
Additional hardware additions include a built-in microphone for online voice chat, a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired headsets, and USB-C charging designed to replenish the battery faster than the previous DualShock 4 generation.
