Xbox Series X Controller And PS5 DualSense: Comparing Next-Gen Game Pads

We now know what both the PS5 DualSense controller and Xbox Series X controller will look like as well as the features we can expect on each. They differ fairly drastically, both in features and in their aesthetic design, with Sony's PlayStation 5 controller getting a more radical overhaul compared to Microsoft's new controller. We've outlined their differences--and similarities--across several different categories below.

Currently, both PS5 and Xbox Series X are scheduled to release in Holiday 2020. Though we still don't actually know what the PS5 looks like, we do know most of the internal specs for both next-gen consoles, which we compare in our PS5 vs. Xbox Series X spec guide.
