The DualSense features several major improvements over the DualShock 4, including a larger battery, haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. As a result, PS5 games can take advantage of these new features to provide extra immersion while playing a game. Some of the recently revealed PS5 exclusives include Horizon Forbidden West, a Demon’s Souls remake, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and more.
The PS5 is currently expected to launch at some point in Holiday 2020.
