The release of the PlayStation 5 is just around the corner, with less than a month left, and at least one retailer is already preparing spots in their stores for accessories. ThePS5DualSense controllers are popping up in different places, making the coming of the next-gen console feel all the more real and building excitement. A few fans online have spotted them in the wild and have been posting pictures of them on display at stores.
Evidence that Walmart has startedstocking DualSense controllerswas first seen earlier this week, but it seems the store in question wasn’t the only one. Twitter userDestruct___has also posted photos of controllers behind glass, waiting patiently for gamers to buy them. They were not able to purchase one, though. This is most likely because the store is waiting until the official accessories launch date on October 30 in the US. Unfortunately, some of the ones that have been lucky enough to snag a controller are now attempting to sell them online at a higher price.

The bright white color of the DualSense controller is a stark contrast to the original black of previous generations, but for those who like the classic color, there is hope. Newimages of black DualSensecontrollershave surfaced after they appeared in FCC filings for Sony’s new product and have been spread all over social media ever since. PlayStation controllers have always come in different colors and patterns, so it makes sense there would eventually be some variety outside of the ones that come standard with the console. The real downside to this news is that Sony hasn’t announced a date yet on when the black controller will release.
The DualSense controller has been analyzed with tremendous scrutiny to ensure it lives up to the expectations of what the next generation of consoles can offer. Unofficialteardowns of the DualSense controllerhave made the rounds, providing insight on the inner workings of the device and Sony has released myriad details on how the controllers have evolved since their last iteration. The futuristic design itself shows the Sony wants to make an impression. Outward appearances can only do much, though.
That’s why things like the haptic feedback have changed, playing a bigger role in the gaming experience. For example, the controller will vibrate based on the direction an enemy is attacking in the upcomingSpider-Man: Miles Moralestitle. According to a leaker, the DualSense will also havebetter battery power than DualShock 4. So far, the DualSense is living up to the hype, but players will only know for sure when the console is released.
