Amazon has cut the PS5 DualSense to £44.99, well below the £60 it has sat at since the summer.
Against its £64.99 RRP, the PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller is now 31% cheaper, a chunky £20 saving, and even compared with the £59.99 it usually sells for on Amazon, it still leaves £15 spare to put towards your next game.
The PS5 DualSense controller usually costs £60, and now it’s £44.99
With haptic feedback, adaptive triggers and a built-in mic, the PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller is down to £44.99 at Amazon, saving 31%.
Every PS5 comes with a single controller in the box, so £44.99 is the cheapest the past three months have offered for adding a second one, whether that is for couch co-op, a sibling or simply a spare that stays charged.
Haptic feedback is where it earns its keep, and when our gaming editor reviewed the DualSense, she could feel individual drops of rain land on Astro Bot’s umbrella, with gusts of wind pushing back through the controller too.
The adaptive triggers go further still, building resistance under your fingers as you interact with the game. She felt pressure mount while pulling objects in Astro’s Playroom, and Nero’s sword in Devil May Cry 5 revved up like a miniature motorbike engine.

Games beyond Sony’s showcase use it too, and she found that in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales a light touch on the trigger fires a strand of web while pressing harder adds momentum to every swing across Manhattan.
Even before a game loads, the controller makes an impression, with a weighty, solid build that feels premium in your hands and textured thumbsticks whose grippy outer rings keep your fingers in place during hectic moments.
The face buttons sit raised above the body, so every press feels satisfying and responsive, and our editor found the travel between them precise enough to suit platformers and fighting games where split-second timing matters most.
Practical touches round it out, from a built-in microphone for chatting in online matches to a 3.5mm headphone jack for plugging in a wired headset and USB-C charging that tops it up far faster than the old DualShock 4.
Whether it ends up under the tree for a PS5 owner or beside your own console for the next round of couch co-op, the PS5 DualSense is sitting at its best pre-Black Friday price in three months right now.
