- Sony has rebranded its “Firmware updater for DualSense wireless controller” Windows app to “PlayStation Accessories.”
- The update introduces support for customizing the DualSense Edge controller and switching between different profiles on Windows PCs.
- Those with DualSense controllers continue to be limited to firmware updates using the official companion app.
Sony has long offered a companion app on Windows, allowing users to update their DualSense controllers’ firmware without a PlayStation 5. Beyond keeping the software up to date, though, the app didn’t offer any meaningful functionality. That’s fortunately changing now, as Sony just released an update that introduces a new user interface and supports customizing compatible controllers.
Starting today PC gamers can unleash the full customizable power of the DualSense Edge controller directly on their computer.
