In addition to the graphics and performance seeing a considerable improvement, theDualSensecontroller also has its own unique features.
The games below are great regardless, so the DualSense features only improve the overall experience.
17Stray
Part of what is so impressive aboutStrayis just how realistic the cat feels to play.
This is not a humanoid cat or a cat with a human personality like in animated films.
The cat in Stray has more in common with the feline in your living room than with you.
The DualSense controller contributes to this immersion into a cat’s life.

Inscryption is one of the best DualSense games because it focuses on minute details.
Small vibrations recreate the tactile feeling of drawing cards by hand.
15Horizon Forbidden West
You’d expect Sony exclusives to make the best DualSense games for the platform.
All the same, the sequel to the 2017open-world gameuses haptic feedback and adaptive triggers well.
This is most evident in the way you use the bow and arrow.
The tension grows as you pull back the bow while prepping a shot.
14Gran Turismo 7
Some genres feel more appropriate for the DualSense than others.
Racing games are a no-brainer, especially for a series that strives for realism likeGran Turismo.
The series has always ridden the line between realistic racing and easy-to-understand gameplay.

Every action elicits a reaction from the controller on par with how a car would act.
13Dirt 5
Dirt 5was alaunch title for next-generation consolesthat launched on late-gen consoles too.
Even though it is available for many platforms, the PS5 version is one of the best DualSense games.
The varied terrain reacts differently depending on what surface you are driving on.
It also showed that the DualSense features were not only for big-budget games aiming for realism.
The haptic feedback helps you feel more in tune with the environment.
It also has an adorable theme song from Kero Kero Bonito.
Considering its positive reception, Rift Apart will be remembered as one of the best DualSense games.
One of the adjustments to the gameplay is the inclusion of haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
9Demon’s Souls
This launch title became a great reason to own a PS5 on day one.
The controller provides haptic feedback and expanded sounds of clashing and effects from its speaker.
But Demon’s Souls is one of the best DualSense games because these effects never feel too intrusive.
8Control
Controlperformed poorly on late-generation consoles, often dropping under 30 frames per second.
Fortunately, the Ultimate Edition launched for the current generation runs significantly smoother and includes prior-launched DLC.
