PS5
Releasing over a month ago, the PlayStation five remains one of probably the hottest video game products right now, particularly since PS5 stock is still pretty much non existent. Shortly after the PS5‘s launch, players reported all sorts of glitches and errors, such as issues from downloading digital games to consoles getting bricked after entering Rest Mode.
Today, it seems that a new hardware issue has been found on the PS5’s Duals hock controllers. In line with several players which were fortunate enough to secure a PS5, the Dual Sense’s adaptive triggers are actually starting to malfunction. One report revealed that while playing Spider Man: Miles Morales, they felt the R2 trigger snap, becoming unresponsive and loose. Other users share a similar experience, with a few reports claiming that the R2 trigger is actually starting to be less sensitive over time. At the moment, the web is actually brimming with homemade fixes to this problem, which suggests that more players are actually encountering this problem.

It’s still unclear just how widespread the problem is actually, but more than 1,000 individuals already have reported experiencing the same trouble with the Dual Sense’s adaptive triggers online. Naturally, this current issue some players are actually encountering with the controller bears a striking resemblance to the issue faced by many Switch players with the console’s Joy Cons. Since the Switch’s release in 2017, players reported experiencing the dreaded Joy Con drift, which happens when the controller’s analog sticks would randomly move around and input commands on the console, even without any physical input from the player.

The Joy Con drift problem quickly became a widespread issue, suggesting that the root of the problem lies within the controller’s design rather than some other external factors. This led to multiple class action lawsuits against Nintendo, and the company has since acknowledged the problem and issued an apology. At the moment, it remains unclear whether Sony is already aware of the Dual Sense’s Adaptive Triggers breaking. Nevertheless, the company will most likely develop a statement if more players report the same concern.
Meanwhile, a recent PS5 update introduced a major quality of life improvement for players which own the console. When playing games which include both a PS4 and PS5 version, the console would default to the PS4 version, making players think that the experience on the PS5 is not that different from its predecessor. Probably The latest update is seeking to take care of the issue by notifying players when they’re using the last gen version of a specific game. With that latest update, players can now rest easy that they’ll be playing the proper model of a game at all of times
