Applehas now started sellingPS5 DualSense controllerson its online store, which may come as a surprise to some.
But now thatSony’s gamepad is compatible with iOS 14.5, iPadOS 14.5, tvOS 14.5 and macOS 11.3, it makes sense, and Apple seems to have no qualms about recommending thePS5DualSense Controller to its users.
TheDualSensecontroller is listed for the same price as other retailers, thankfully –$69.95– and orders placed today (May 21) are due to be delivered next week. We haven’t seen the controller listed on Apple’s UK store, as of yet.
The PS5 DualSense controller can be used with any controller-supported games on Apple devices, including those found onApple Arcade. You can also use the DualSense with thePS Remote Playapp, which lets you stream yourPS5 gamesto your phone or tablet.
We’re huge fans of the DualSense controller, and even though you won’t be able to experience the wonders of its haptic feedback and adaptive controllers when playing on Apple devices, it’s still incredibly comfortable to use and has a pleasing battery life.
Of course, millions of people are still trying to secure a PS5 console of their own, with Sony’s next-gen system continuing to flash in and out of stock at various retailers. We’re doing everything we can to help you findwhere to buy a PS5, so check out ourPS5 restock trackerfor more information.

Interestingly, even though Apple’s devices are also compatible with Xbox Wireless Controllers, Apple doesn’t listMicrosoft’s new pad for sale. We’d argue that this would actually be a better option, mostly due to the fact it’s cheaper at $59.99 / £54.99 / AU$89.95 and is the perfect controller forXbox Game Pass, something which is now beingtested on iOS devicesafter initially being blocked by Apple.
