PlayStation unveiled multiple new controllers and PS5 console covers during the latest State of Play presentation. Most notably, Fortnite is getting its own limited-edition DualSense on November 7. It has a blue color scheme and graffiti-style decals inspired by the game. PlayStation also unveiled its new Chroma Collection, which gives three DualSense colors and matching console covers a flashy chrome finish. The Fortnite controller certainly stands out with a chaotic design that’s the complete opposite of the recently released Astro Bot controller (sold out). Nevertheless, it’s a limited-edition DualSense controller themed around Fortnite, so it will likely sell out fast when preorders go live October 3. PowerA OPS V1 Wireless Controller – Fortnite Edition (PC, Mobile) — $55 PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller – Peely Edition (Switch)– $65 PowerA Wireless Xbox Controller – Fortnite Special Edition (Xbox, PC, Mobile)– $100 | Releases October 1 It’s an incredibly busy time for new PlayStation hardware too, with the Fortnite Dualsense being announced in the same week as PS5 Pro pre-orders and PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection pre-orders go live (September 26). We’re hardened veterans of limited edition hardware launches so know that it often pays to get in position well in advance and to be primed and ready to go. While the listing pages for the Fortnite DualSense aren’t all live yet, the below are the best ones to bookmark ahead of time and to ensure you have the best links close to hand. We’ll be updating these links as soon as we get more listing pages as well as updating the page with any other information as and when we get it.
If you’ve ever jumped into a Fortnite match and felt like your shots were going more wild than a chicken on a rollercoaster, it might be time to give the DualSense Controller a closer look. This nifty gadget isn’t just a pretty face; it’s packed with features that can turn your game from “meh” to “whoa!” faster than you can say “Victory Royale.”
The Haptic Feedback: Feel the Action
First up, let’s talk about haptic feedback. Imagine feeling every explosion and bullet whizzing by as if you’re right there in the action. The DualSense Controller uses advanced technology to make sure you can feel the difference between, say, stepping on a twig and getting hit by a rocket. It’s like your controller is giving you a little massage, but instead of relaxation, it’s just pure adrenaline.
Picture this: you’re sneaking around Salty Springs, and suddenly, BOOM! You feel the explosion in your hands. Not only does this keep you on your toes, but it also adds a little flair to your game. Who knew dodging bullets could feel so… luxurious?
Adaptive Triggers: Pulling Your Weight
Next, we have the adaptive triggers. These bad boys are designed to provide varying resistance depending on what you’re doing. Pulling the trigger to shoot your favorite gun? It’ll feel different than building a ramp or jumping. It’s like the controller is saying, “Hey, you’re not just mashing buttons; you’re building a fortress!”
This means that when you’re cranking those 90s, the controller is working with you. Just imagine your trigger responding with a slight pushback, almost like it’s reminding you to keep your cool. It’s a bit like having a personal coach right in your hands, but without the whistle or the motivational speeches.
Built-in Microphone: Talk the Talk
Now, let’s not forget about the built-in microphone. Sure, you could just use your headset, but where’s the fun in that? The DualSense lets you chat with your squad without extra gear. You can share your master plans—or, you know, the latest memes—without needing to fumble with wires. Just be careful not to get too chatty during a tense moment; no one wants to hear your thoughts on pineapple on pizza while trying to secure that win!
The Touchpad: Swipe Right on Victory
The touchpad is another nifty feature. It’s like a magic button that can do just about anything. Need to pull up your map? Swipe away. Want to do a little dance? You got it. But be warned: your dance moves might look better on the controller than they do in-game. Remember, Fortnite is all about having fun, and if your character is doing the robot while you’re losing your mind, at least you’re laughing, right?
Customization: Your Game, Your Way
Finally, let’s talk customization. The DualSense Controller gives you the freedom to tweak button layouts and sensitivity settings. Want to make building a bit faster? You can do that. Need to switch up your weapon slots? Easy peasy. It’s like having a custom-built taco; you can add or remove whatever toppings you want. Just be careful not to overload it—too much customization can lead to confusion, and nobody wants to accidentally build a wall when they meant to fire!
Wrapping It Up: Game On!
In the end, the DualSense Controller offers a level of precision that can seriously enhance your Fortnite experience. Whether it’s the haptic feedback that makes you feel like a superhero or the adaptive triggers that keep you in the zone, this controller is all about making your gaming life easier and way more fun. Just remember, no matter how advanced your tools are, it’s your skills that matter. So, keep practicing, have a laugh or two, and get ready to show those opponents who’s boss.
