Overview
- DSX published v3.2 Beta 01 on Monday, adding a “Virtual DualSense with Audio” mode that lets games send native haptic and controller audio data to a virtual device over Bluetooth or USB.
- The feature works by emulating a wired DualSense connection so trigger, light, and haptic streams can be routed despite Windows’ Bluetooth limits on DualSense bandwidth.
- Users must buy the paid DSX app plus the DSX+ add-on to create the virtual DualSense, and they must opt into DSX’s Steam beta to access the new build.
- The update also delivers broad UI and workflow changes, a major button-mapping overhaul, improved audio/haptics routing, and bug fixes that the developers call the most stable DSX release yet.
- DSX adds a manual non‑Steam launch option that uses a 28-day Steam ownership cache, but practical trade-offs remain: extra cost, setup steps, uncertain parity with PS5 haptics, and no official Sony guarantee of long-term compatibility.
