Sony’s upcoming DualSense Edge controller will feature a ‘moderately shorter’ battery life than the standard version of the PS5 pad, the format holder has revealed to The Verge.
The DualSense Edge is a premium-priced controller that features a number of enhancements over the original DualSense, including replaceable stick modules. However, battery life isn’t increased due needing to balance it with the newly-added features.
The DualSense Edge wireless controller’s operating time is moderately shorter than the original DualSense wireless controller because we’ve included many more features within the same form factor and ergonomic design as the original DualSense controller.
We wanted to strike a good balance between wireless operating time and delivering robust, high-performance features. Additionally, the longer USB braided cable is also great for competitive players who prefer playing with a wired connection to avoid wireless interference – this option preserves battery life.
Sony recently launched a behind-the-scenes video for the DualSense Edge offering a glimpse at the design process behind the controller.
The DualSense Edge controller is slated for release on January 26, 2023 priced at $199.99/£209.99.
