Sony will now let you customize your PlayStation 5’s DualSense Edge controller on your PC. The new Accessories app for Windows lets you customize button assignments, change stick sensitivity, adjust trigger deadzones, and more.

This replaces the “Firmware updater for DualSense wireless controller” app introduced in 2022. It takes things a step further by letting you customize your DualSense Edge controller the same way you would on your PlayStation 5. Like the outgoing app, you can still use Accessories to update the firmware on the DualSense Edge and the standard DualSense from your PC.

Sony has already ported several of its top titles to PC, with the most recent additions including Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and The Last of Us Part I. It even released a PC adapter for its PSVR 2 virtual reality headset (although Sony still needs to iron out some kinks).

But with the launch of the Accessories app, it seems Sony is getting serious about bringing more tools to manage your account and device settings from your PC. Earlier this year, Sony also launched a PlayStation PC overlay that lets you view your friends list, Trophies, settings, and your PlayStation account — but it’s only available with Ghost of Tsushima to start.
