A PS5 signature feature is already breaking down

[Chris Smith]

• The PS5 is still sold out in many countries, as Sony can’t manufacture enough game consoles to meet demand. But many people have already purchased a PlayStation 5 in time for Christmas. And some of them have identified an unexpected hardware problem that Sony needs to fix.
• The issue affects one of the PS5’s signature features, the new DualSense controller that offers a new haptic feedback system and adaptive triggers.
• Some players have found that the adaptive triggers can break during gameplay. The feature isn’t necessarily widespread, but Sony is apparently aware that the triggers can become loose and offers replacements.

The PlayStation 5 is one of the hottest items of the holiday season, which is hardly surprising. It’s what happens with a next-gen gaming console, especially in a year that ruined everything about normal life. At one point, we weren’t even sure that Sony would be able to manufacture the PS5 and launch the device during the 2020 holiday season. But Sony pulled through, just like Microsoft did. Both companies launched their new consoles in time for Christmas, and both continue to be sold out in traditional stores. Scalpers, meanwhile, are making a killing at selling them on the black market. Whether you managed to score a PS5 in time for Christmas or not, you should be aware that some players have started encountering an issue with one of the main features of the PS5, one that Sony might need time to fix.
