This provides gamers with visual information, such as which character they control or health status, at a glance for more intuitive gameplay. Furthermore, the new DUALSHOCK(R)4 supports USB communication*3 in addition to the currently available Bluethooth(R) communication, allowing users to have control also via cable. The new DUALSHOCK(R)4 wireless controller will be available at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of 5,980 yen, USD 59, EUR 59 and GBP 54*4.
