Can You Play Marvel's Spider-Man PC With a DualSense?

According to Nixxes Software, the studio that is creating the Spider-Man PC port alongside original developers Insomniac Games, Spider-Man PC is going the extra mile with its controls by providing full mouse and keyboard support but also supporting a wired DualSense controller including adaptive trigger feedback and haptic response.

Unfortunately for fans of playing their PC games with a wireless controller, this option isn't really beneficial for DualSense users. while you can connect a Dualsense with a Bluetooth dongle, its main features such as the previously mentioned adaptive triggers and haptic response are unavailable, meaning that if you want the full experience of Spider-Man PC with a PS5 controller, you'll need to stick to wired.

Regardless of whether you care for those features or not, however, the DualSense will be fully compatible with Spider-Man PC, allowing you to swing around the city of New York in glorious 4K with the controller it was intended to be experienced with.
