If you have been following Astro news as of late, then you know Team Asobi have been hard at work on a brand-new game coming out on September 6. The game features over 50 planets, new powerups, lots of enemies, secrets and PlayStation-infused characters to collect. And it also features a DualSense wireless controller turned into a living character and helping Astro on his mission.

Today, it is an immense pleasure to announce that you will be able to charge into Astro’s new supersized adventure along with the cool new DualSense wireless controller – Astro Bot Limited Edition.

We know many of you were hoping for this after seeing the game trailer. So, we quickly asked our lovely bots to engineer this beauty and tada! No, no, I’m just kidding; it had been in the making for some time, carefully crafted by the amazing teams at SIE. And what splendid work they did.

The controller’s design features Astro’s signature blue accents on the handles and buttons, carved-in, sci-fi lines as well as the trademark playful pair of eyes on the touch pad. It is a true work of art, and we could not be happier with the end-result at Team Asobi.

With this dynamic addition to your set-up, a supersized space adventure awaits…

Starting Friday, August 9 at 7am PT in the U.S. and 10am local time in the U.K., France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Portugal, players will be able to pre-order the DualSense wireless controller – Astro Bot Limited Edition through direct.playstation.com, as well as from select retailers. Pre-orders will also be available through select retailers in other global markets on the same day. The DualSense wireless controller – Astro Bot Limited Edition will be available in limited quantities for $79.99/ €79.99 / £69.99 / ¥11,980 and will launch on September 6, day-in-date with the launch of Astro Bot.

It’s beautiful. Best DS I’ve seen so far.

But I already have 3 controllers and only 2 arms. I also plan on buying a cheap second hand one with stick drift.

Does the track pad light up with the eyes ?

Sony would price that at $1000.

And some would justify the existence of a $1000 Dualsense Astro Edition.

Sony is a hardware manufacturer, they still make CD players - if there is a market, they will produce the product. They crunched the numbers and they see a market for a high-end PS5 Dualsense Astro Edition, it is not for the mainstream, it's a luxury extravagance. They subsidise the cost of the PS5 Dualsense, with the Pro Dualsense Astro Edition, the consumer foots the bill.

Just because most people dislike it on YouTube doesn't mean a low volume product is not ultimately profitable for Sony. Even if they only break even, it's invaluable R&D for the features of the PS6 Dualsense 2.
