Still have fond memories of a desk in my room with a PC and next to it tiny 4:3 CRT with a PS2 (and later X360) that facilitated endless gaming sessions on a battered but incredibly comfy bean bag.

Sony has released a new PC app that allows users to update their DualSense controller for PC without a PS5 and here’s how to do it.
