Sony is further expanding its presence in the world of PC gaming with the introduction of the new PlayStation Accessories app. This innovative application allows players to fully customize the DualSense Edge controller directly from their Windows PCs.
With a range of customization options that were previously exclusive to the PlayStation 5, PC gamers can now adjust stick sensitivity, button mapping, trigger dead zones, and more. This level of customization brings the premium controller experience of the PS5 to a wider audience, making it a compelling choice for PC gamers seeking a high-quality controller with extensive options.
Interestingly, the app is not entirely new. As noted by Tom’s Hardware, it is essentially a revamped version of the older “Firmware Updater for DualSense Wireless Controller.” The update features a completely redesigned interface and the ability to customize the DualSense Edge when connected to top-tier gaming PCs.
If you are using the standard DualSense controller, firmware updates are still available, but customization options remain exclusive to the DualSense Edge.

In addition to customizations, the app supports up to 30 profiles, allowing players to create and switch between different setups for various games or genres, whether they’re playing a fast-paced shooter or a strategic RPG.
Sony’s foray into the PC market with the PlayStation Accessories app is part of a broader strategy to expand its ecosystem. This move follows previous initiatives such as bringing former PlayStation exclusives like Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut and God of War to PC, demonstrating Sony’s recognition of the growing significance of the PC gaming community.
By enabling PC gamers to utilize and personalize PlayStation hardware, Sony is not only appealing to a new segment of gamers but also fostering a more cohesive gaming experience across platforms. With the PlayStation Accessories app setting a new standard, we may see more cross-platform functionalities or even new hardware designed with both PlayStation and PC gamers in mind.
If you are interested in the app, you can download it for free from Sony’s official website.
