Which PS5 games really show off DualSense haptics and adaptive triggers?

Astro's Playroom is the showcase because it was bundled with the PS5 and demonstrates rain, footsteps, springs, and trigger resistance through the controller. Returnal, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and Gran Turismo 7 also make heavy use of the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.

Does the standard DualSense work on PC?

Yes, the DualSense can connect to Windows PCs over USB-C or Bluetooth. Many PC games treat it as a standard controller, but advanced features like adaptive triggers are mostly supported in specific PlayStation Studios PC ports and often work best over USB.

The standard DualSense is the regular PS5 controller with haptics, adaptive triggers, a built-in microphone, and the Create button. The DualSense Edge adds back buttons, swappable stick modules, trigger stops, and profiles, and Sony launched it as the premium customizable model.

When did Sony introduce the DualSense controller?

Sony revealed the DualSense on April 7, 2020, before the PlayStation 5 launch later that year. It replaced the DualShock 4 naming pattern and moved PlayStation's focus from rumble motors to haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
