So if you use Sony\u2019s PlayStation 5 controller on PC, you can finally get its <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/the-best-controllers-for-gaming-on-pc\">best features without keeping a USB-C cable<\/a> plugged in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sony still doesn\u2019t officially support this on PC. DSX apparently gets around that by making your computer think it\u2019s connected to <strong>a wired DualSense<\/strong>, then sending the haptics and trigger data over Bluetooth anyway. Until now, the options were pretty limited. Stay plugged in, or mess with DIY fixes like a Raspberry Pi Pico adapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">DSX PC App Beta Adds Haptic Support, Bluetooth Audio to Sony DualSense Controllers Connected Wirelessly. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DIexK4QhCQ\">https:\/\/t.co\/DIexK4QhCQ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Digital Foundry (@digitalfoundry) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/digitalfoundry\/status\/2066531193361780836?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 15, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The timing matters, too. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/playstation-will-not-release-its-most-beloved-games-on-pc-from-now-on\">Sony keeps bringing more first-party games to PC<\/a>, and a lot of those ports make heavy use of DualSense feedback. Valve says daily controller use on Steam has <strong>tripled<\/strong> since 2018. PlayStation controllers now account for 26% of all controller gaming sessions on the platform, according to Valve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far, early impressions from Digital Foundry and PC Gamer have been positive. There are still a few open questions, though, especially around accessibility benefits and whether reliable unofficial support like this could shape how developers think about <strong>advanced controller features<\/strong> on PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you use a DualSense on PC, this beta is probably worth trying.
