A new report suggests Sony is developing an updated PlayStation 5 controller featuring a removable battery pack, potentially offering a significant quality-of-life improvement for gamers. According to German gaming site PPE.pl, this rumored controller, internally referred to as the DualSense V3, could launch as soon as November. The design would allow users to swap out the battery when it fails, eliminating the need to purchase an entirely new controller once the internal battery can no longer hold a charge.
The information originates from a source named Graczdari, who has a credible track record. This individual previously accurately forecast the PS5 announcement for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and uncovered details about a boxed version of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. Should the report prove accurate, the DualSense V3 model is expected to replace the current PS5 controllers available in retail stores.
The report also indicates Sony is preparing a minor revision for the PlayStation 5 Pro console. This updated model is said to consume approximately 3% less power than the standard version and would be bundled with the new DualSense V3 controller. It remains uncertain whether this revised PS5 Pro will also see a November release alongside the controller.
PPE.pl has established a history of reliable reporting within the gaming industry. The site correctly broke news about the Dying Light Nintendo Switch port, which launched in October 2021 as predicted. It also accurately reported that physical disc versions of Doom: The Dark Ages do not contain the complete game data, requiring a download.
Sony’s recent State of Play presentation on September 24 unveiled a wealth of upcoming game releases. Highlights include Team Ninja’s Nioh 3 arriving in February 2026, Housemarque’s Saros and Pearl Abyss’ Crimson Desert both scheduled for March 2026, a Deus Ex remaster, and Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Wolverine slated for a fall release next year. The lineup points to an exciting period ahead for PlayStation gamers.
