PlayStation Accessories App Gets Major Upgrade: Customize DualSense Edge on PC & More Sony Titles Coming Soon
August 28, 2024The PlayStation Accessories app for PC has received a significant upgrade, now allowing users to customize their DualSense Edge controllers.
This updated app enables firmware updates and the ability to create, edit, and switch between custom profiles for the DualSense Edge.
Users can adjust various settings such as button assignments, stick sensitivity, dead zones, trigger settings, and vibration preferences.
Profiles created within the app are saved directly to the controller, making them portable between PS5 and PC.
To connect the controller via USB, users simply need to insert a USB cable into the controller's USB Type-C port.
For Bluetooth connectivity, users must turn off the player indicator on the controller and follow specific button press sequences to pair it with their PC.
In addition to the app update, Sony is expanding its presence in the PC gaming market, with God of War Ragnarök set to launch on September 19, 2024.
This upcoming release follows other successful PC ports, including Marvel's Spider-Man and Horizon Forbidden West.
Sony's strategy includes releasing more single-player titles on PC, with additional titles like the Until Dawn remake and LEGO Horizon Adventures planned for later in 2024.
This ongoing support for PC gaming enhances accessibility for gamers and reflects Sony's efforts to open up its gaming ecosystem.
Despite some backlash, many gamers appreciate Sony's approach of selling PC ports through established platforms like Steam and Epic Games.
Sony Interactive Entertainment advises users to install updates for both the app and controllers promptly to avoid security vulnerabilities and ensure proper functionality.
