So far, the Sony PS5 has only ever been sold with a single controller included. Irrespective of whether the customer purchases the console with or without a game included, only one controller has always been included. Now this is changing.
The PlayStation 5 is coming soon…
…with two controllers in a bundle
From the end of January, Sony wants to introduce a bundle with two DualSense controllers for the first time. This is an official sales package, which can also be recognized by the packaging, which will show two controllers in the future. Also included is always the latest hardware revision of the PS5 with model numbers CFI-1216A or CFI-1216B. So there will be both the digital and the standard edition with an optical drive in the form of a 2-controller bundle. There is no reliable information on the prices so far, since all the dealer data we know do not state the manufacturer’s recommended retail price, but a price that has been increased due to the high demand.
PS5 bottlenecks overcome?
Some dealers list the bundles for 619 and 669 euros, while other providers charge 649 or 699 euros, depending on whether it is the digital or the standard edition. Sony had declared the bottlenecks around the PlayStation 5 to be overcome at the CES 2023, but the console is still not easy to buy, at least in Germany, and above all it is practically never available at the RRP.
The Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense Controller currently has a unit price of around 65 euros in German retail, with Sony’s official price recommendation being slightly higher at 69.99 euros.
