The best PS5 DualSense deals are essential to getting a replacement or second gamepad at lower rates. It's worth stating that offers are fewer and further between with deep discounts, but they do happen. We're rounding up all the latest offerings on both the DualSense and the DualSense Edge

The DualSense, the best PS5 controller, traditionally sees its biggest discounts during peak trading events such as Prime Day and Black Friday; that's when the best PS5 DualSense deals typically appear. That's not to say that offers aren't around, though. Savings of around $5 to $10 (or regional equivalents) are often spotted out in the wild and certainly in the run-up to the likes of Amazon's massive sale, which is due to take place next month where the largest savings should appear. It means more money for some of the best PS5 games and the best PS5 accessories

PS5 restocks are thankfully no longer as needed as they once were, as PS5 consoles are now readily available in the US, the UK, and Australia. We're rounding up all the best PS5 deals as well as the best PS5 game deals, and PlayStation Plus deals to get the full experience.

Save $6 - This is probably the best DualSense deal we can see going right now, and boy is it on a brilliant variant. The Cobalt Blue colorway is one I've had my eye on since it was announced, and it looks slick as heck. Only a few dollars off, but still a good offer for one of the more 'unusual' colors.

Best cheap PS5 DualSense controller deals - FAQs

What's new about the PS5 DualSense controller?

A new console needs a new gamepad, and the PS5 DualSense controller has come to take up the mantle from the DualShock 4. The softer, curvier design of the DualSense makes the controller far more comfortable, and though there's a little more weight with all the intelligent haptic feedback packed in here, long sessions with those new grips are far less painful. Plus, you also get adaptive triggers, which developers can program to create resistance effects. 

Is the DualSense PS5 controller worth it?

The DualSense PS5 controller is needed to play PS5 games on the new console, however, you can get away with a DualShock 4 for certain PS4 games as well. You automatically receive a controller with your new console, so is the price of a DualSense worth it if you're considering picking up a second gamepad? 

If you want to play PS5 games with local co-op play, then we say it absolutely is worth the cost. It's the only way you're able to get more people in on the action. If, however, you don't have your eye on any new local multiplayer experiences right now – and would prefer to keep your PS4 library alive a little longer thanks to backwards compatibility – maybe don't lock away the DualShock 4 just yet.
