Double the DualShock action

With the PlayStation 5 launch speeding ahead — slated for Christmas 2020 — Sony is releasing a new peripheral for the PlayStation 4's DualShock 4 controller. It's nice to see the PS4 still getting love so late in its life.

The new peripheral is an add-on called the DualShock 4 Back Button Attachment. It's rather self-explanatory: You attach it to a wireless DualShock 4 gamepad via the headphone jack at the back and voila: two extra buttons. These add-ons are programmable, allowing players to customize up to 16 different input functions, such as moving the R1 button or square button input. Adding customized controls can make playing certain games easier — and more enjoyable.
