What will be the PS5 Edge Controller price?
The PS5 DualSense Edge costs £209.99. This eye-watering sum is something of a surprise and above previous estimates of how much it would set you back.
Given that the Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller RRP is £159.99, Sony is asking a lot for its equivalent fancy customisable controller. On top of the £209.99 RRP, you will also be able to purchase replaceable stick modules for £19.99 RRP. These will also launch on 26th January 2023.
Can I pre-order the PS5 Edge Controller?
Pre-orders for the PS5 DualSense Edge Controller opened on Tuesday 25th October 2022 at select retailers. In the UK, you will only be able to pre-order the DualSense Edge Controller and replaceable stick modules directly through PlayStation from 25th October.
Check back with your favoured stores later on to pre-order the pricey controller.
