Heads up, gamers! Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) just dropped some exciting news via their official social channels: the PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller is getting a massive update later this year. The big headline? It's adding "simultaneous multi-device connection" support! This means you'll soon be able to pair your DualSense with your PS5 and PC – or even multiple consoles – all at once, ditching the hassle of constant re-pairing for seamless switching.
Ever since its debut, the DualSense has earned rave reviews for its haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, and this upcoming update is set to supercharge its cross-platform appeal. But wait, there's more! According to GamesRadar, some clever players have already figured out a way to get the DualSense working with the Nintendo Switch 2 using an adapter – offering a surprisingly budget-friendly option for gamers.
The trick? Grab a MayFlash GameCube controller adapter and pair it with 8BitDo's NGC Bluetooth Retro Receiver. This combo lets your DualSense connect seamlessly with the Switch 2. Best part? The receiver will only set you back around $20-25, which is a sweet deal compared to shelling out for new Joy-Con 2s or a Pro Controller.
While Sony hasn't spilled all the beans yet on the exact operational details, like how many devices can connect simultaneously or the specific pairing process, they've promised to drop more info soon, including the official release date for the update. And that's not all! Alongside the DualSense news, Sony also announced that PlayStation VR2 controllers will support Apple VisionOS 26, signaling their ongoing ambition to expand their ecosystem.
