Reports suggest that Sony plans to launch an upgraded PS5 controller, dubbed DualSense, next year, marking a departure from its traditional DualShock lineage. Despite some significant changes between the DualSense and previous DualShock models, there are also similarities, including potential drawbacks such as battery life. The battery life on PS4 controllers was already less than ideal, and it appears to be even more problematic with the PS5 controller due to its enhanced features. However, a recent report indicates that Sony aims to address this issue by introducing a new PS5 controller in 2026.
According to a source with mixed accuracy, but who has provided accurate info on PlayStation matters in the past – Detective Seeds, a well-known PlayStation insider, leaker, and YouTuber – a new PlayStation controller is rumored to launch next year, featuring substantially extended battery life. The exact length of “substantially extended” battery life isn’t specified, but it seems likely that the improvement will be noticeable and significant.
Regrettably, there’s no clear timeline for release, not even an estimated one, and there are scant details available beyond that. The paucity of additional information seems to indicate that this could be an improvement rather than a completely new version of the PS5 DualSense controller, serving as a replacement for the existing standard model. However, it’s important to note that these are speculations, as the report does not provide definitive answers on the matter.
Absolutely, approach this fresh report with a bit of skepticism. Firstly, all the details are unofficial, and even if they’re true, they could become outdated and inaccurate due to potential future changes. As of now, Sony has remained silent on the matter, and it seems unlikely that they will provide comments anytime soon. If they do, we’ll make sure to update our story accordingly.
