Updated DualSense Edge Model Appears in Japan
Sony has introduced a revised version of the DualSense Edge controller for the PlayStation 5, which is now listed on the official Japanese PlayStation store. The updated hardware, identified by the model number CFI-ZCP2J, arrives with minor modifications to its included accessories. As noted by user Zuby_Tech, the manufacturer has confirmed changes to the bundled carrying case and the USB cable.
Despite the introduction of the new model, the retail price remains unchanged at 34,980 yen. The previous iteration of the controller carries the model number CFI-ZCP1. Sony has not provided technical details regarding potential changes to the internal components.
Federal Communications Commission Records Reveal Hardware Revision Details
Initial evidence of this hardware revision emerged in August through documentation from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The agency published records for a device designated as CFI-ZCP2.
While the FCC filings include technical documentation and internal photographs of the device, much of this material is currently secret. According to the available records, the full scope of these documents is scheduled for public release on January 31, 2027.
