Here's The First Major PC Title To Use PS5 DualSense Features

Metro Exodus: Enhanced Edition has become the first major PC title to use the PS5’s DualSense controller features.

At the end of last week, the developers of Metro Exodus, 4A Games released an update for the PC version of the game. As well as fixing some bugs, the update also added DualSense support.

A new Hotfix has just been released for Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition to address some reported issues & DLC unlocking incorrectly.

Make sure your game, drivers & OS are updated to the latest versions.

The update now means that Metro Exodus: Enhanced Edition can now make use of the DualSense controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.

A video of the DualSense controllers working in motion on PC was uploaded to Twitter by VGC‘s Andy Robinson.

“PS5’s DualSense is now fully functional on PC, via Metro Exodus’ latest update,” he tweeted, including a video of the feat. Check it out below.

There is one snag, however, because, at the time of writing, it appears that the DualSense features only work on PC while the controller is connected by a wire and not wirelessly.

That said, even though the DualSense controller has been usable on PC since the PS5 launched in November 2020, it’s a great step in the right direction for PC gaming. It’s hard to explain how great the DualSense controllers feel, but once you’ve experienced them it’s hard gaming without them.

Hopefully Metro Exodus: Enhanced Edition will be the first of many PC games to take advantage of the DualSense controller’s fantastic features, especially with first-party PlayStation titles making the jump from console to PC.

This will also be great news for PlayStation 5 players, because it should be safe to assume that when Metro Exodus: Enhanced Edition releases for PS5 on June 18^th, the console version should also take advantage of the controller’s snazzy features.
