While Sony has released various colors for the DualSense and the DualSense Edge, it could be gearing up to refresh the base controller. @NextGenPlayer on Twitter spotted a listing on Best Buy Canada for the DualSense V2, which promises an “Exceptional 12-hour battery life on a full charge.” Of course, the current DualSense touts the same battery life, which can vary heavily.
It doesn’t seem to offer any other unique features or differ in price, though the height, width and depth are all noticeably less than the regular DualSense. The DualSense V2 is also a good 80 grams lighter, which should help for longer sessions. The listing could be erroneous, but given the different model numbers, it may be a light refresh and nothing more.
Sony has yet to confirm the existence of a new DualSense, so stay tuned for potential announcements in the coming months. The company recently celebrated over 50 million lifetime sales of the PlayStation 5. It’s expected to sell 25 million units this fiscal year, ending March 31st, 2024.
