The DualSense Edge, officially launched this summer at gamescom 2022, has just been the subject of a major update from Sony Interactive Entertainment. In a big post on the PlayStation Blog, the Japanese manufacturer reveals the release date of its Pro controller for the PS5, but also its price. We will therefore have to wait until January 26, 2023 and €239.99 to get hold of it.
This is a rather steep note, especially if we compare it to the Xbox Elite Series 2 from Microsoft "which only costs" 179,99€. In reality, Sony Interactive Entertainment aligns itself with the prices of manufacturers such as SCUF Gaming which offers its SCUF Reflex (small success that we tested here) around 210/250€. The only problem is that the price of the DualSense Pro can quickly increase, since it is specified that the replaceable joystick modules will be sold for €24.99. This raises serious questions about the commercial competitiveness of the product. For the rest, the DualSense Pro does much the same thing as the others, namely integrate paddle buttons on the back of the joystick, swap the joystick caps, have a grip on the handles and leave with a carrying cover.
Pre-orders for the replaceable joystick controller and modules will begin on Tuesday, October 25, 2022.
