Update: A US law firm says it's "investigating a potential class action based on reports that Sony PS5 DualSense contr🤡ollers for the PlayStation ꦯ5 console can experience drift issues and/or fail prematurely."
Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith LLP, a specialist in class action suits, is asking ꦅfor information from players who claim to have experienced controller drift. A contact form on the firm's website asks respondents when they first noticed the issue, and whether they'd had assistance from Sony. While the answers could eventually lead to a class action suit against the console manufacturer, it's important to note that this is only the first stage of the process, and there's every chance that the firm will decide not to proceed with the suit.

The DualSense's issues seem quite severe for those unlucky enough to be suffering from it, but drifting issues are nothing new. The Nintendo Switch's controversial '澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Joy-Con Drift' is well-documented, and has been the source of a number of class-action lawsuits filed againstඣ the console manufacturer. Whether Sony's issue ends up being that widespread remains to be seen, but you might want to keep an eye out for wayward controllers in theꦑ future.
