On January 11, 2024, multiple media outlets confirmed that a sales page for 'PlayStation 5 V2 DualSense Wireless Controller - White' was posted at Best Buy in Canada. The sales page is no longer accessible at the time of writing, but it can be viewed on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
The price is 89.99 Canadian dollars (about 9765 yen), which is the same as the current DualSense regular price.
In addition, the main features are listed in the product summary column as follows.
-Compatible with PlayStation 5.
-Wireless connection prevents wires from getting tangled while gaming.
- Iconic design that fits naturally in your hand.
- Haptic feedback replaces the traditional rumble motor for more realistic gameplay.
・Dynamic adaptive triggers allow you to experience different levels of strength and tension depending on your interaction with the game.
-Built-in microphone allows you to interact with friends during online play.
- Headset jack allows you to connect your favorite headset and easily immerse yourself in gaming audio.
-DualSense charging station (included) allows easy click-in charging.
- Excellent battery life of 12 hours on a full charge supports long gaming sessions.
The last two points are considered to be particularly important changes. The charging station was sold separately in the previous DualSense, but it may be included in the next generation 'V2 DualSense'.
In addition, the battery life of the previous DualSense was 4 to 6 hours when playing games using haptic feedback and built-in speakers, but this has almost doubled to 12 hours.
On the other hand, there is almost no difference in appearance or weight.
Other specifications posted on Best Buy's sales page are as follows.

| Controller type | wireless |

There has been no official announcement from Sony, and there have been no responses to inquiries from the media at the time of writing, so details including the release date and whether or not 'V2 DualSense' will actually be released are unknown.
