Pre-orders for the $79.99 controller will open on Aug. 8 and might be accessible to order from PlayStation and different choose retailers forward of the Sep. 6 launch.
The customized controller contains blue accents on the handles and buttons, in addition to some extra carved-in sci-fi accents on the grips and across the analog sticks. Nonetheless, the obvious change is the addition of a pair of blue eyes seated in the course of the touchpad. Whereas the eyes, sadly, can’t change their expression primarily based in your gameplay, their presence nonetheless lends a unusually emotive high quality to the in any other case lifeless peripheral.
Along with its new theme, the restricted version controller contains the identical options discovered on the usual DualSense controller, like movement controls, haptic suggestions that may replicate textures in sure environments, and adaptive triggers to simulate rigidity and resistance.
